Now that I've been to www.macromedia.com, "NO! NO! NO!"  I don't need
it.  SchlockWave?  NOT!  But damn that's a slick site.  I wish
Java-1.1.2.v3 would download that fast....

Are they listed?  Anybody who can manage to push that much visual
through a plain store-brand vanilla (not even Haagen-dazs) Netscape
trans-Pacific is probably going to outmanage Billy-G.  I want a
piece!!!

BTW, speaking of the JDK, HotJava-1.0 for Linux is now on sale (at
Linux prices :-) at www.blackdown.org.  Slow and strange, though, at
least when displaying an X window remotely.
