AMEN! Finally, a voice of sanity re java/livescript/activeX. They can
all bite you if you aren't careful. And, in the sandbox we are all
being forced to play in, you can't guarantee that the fellow "over

lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores
the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led
them into it in the first place, and continues to do so today."
