- I'm supprised you had a hard time acessing the Sun site. I was able to download
- Hot Java and the developers kit in about 45 minutes last Saturday morning.
- I still haven't used it though since I'm still in the middle of learning C++.I did browse
- through the literature and there is a lot of bragging The little sample apps are kind
- of cute. And supprisingly the code for some of these applets seems short and simple,
- Only time and hopefully honest public opinion will tell if all the hype is warranted.
