                http://cnnfn.com
        \_ I'm sure M$ will appeal.  It isn't done yet but it _is_ looking bad
        for M$.
        \_ So what!  Java is still hella slow to do anything useful.
                \_ your Java fu is weak, grasshopper.  Use a JIT.
                \_ useful like say CORBA?
        \_ Good for Microsoft.  Good for Java.  Good for programmers. -jctwu
        \_ Wrong.  Sun won the injunction.  The lawsuit is still in
           progress.  Though it looks like they'll win the suit as well.
        \_ Go bears
                \_ Go Tree!
                  \_kill the tree!!!

11/18   Can anyone recommend a decent sound card that isn't too
        expensive?
        \_ I picked up a Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI and it sounds fairly good.
           Only cost me $29.95. Perhaps you should mention what your price
           range is and what kind of audio you want. --marc
        \_ Anything with a ESS1869F chipset for $11-$15 for an ISA card.
           I've bought 4 of these, am using 2 and have had no probs.  Go
           with the SB Live if you want to spend > $50. -jctwu
