  Untrue.  It does take a LARGE amount of horsepower, though, but it
gives you a whole lot back for it.  Sridhar and I (mostly Sridhar)
have put together a fairly large application in a matter of a couple
of months that would have taken many person-years of effort in pretty
much any other language.

  I used to dislike Java.  Now that I've *really* seen what it can do,
it's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.  Just keep it away
from web browsers and all will be well.
