	Well, since Kaffe is derived from completely new/different
source, the bug fixes are irrelevant unless they're design bugs that
cause changes to interfaces.

	I won't use Sun's JVM on principle.  If they want to have Java
be considered a standard, there needs to be at least two interoperating
implementations, and at least one of those has to be Open Source.  Since
Sun doesn't seem interested in this definition of 'standard', I consider
it my obligation to use a JVM other than Sun's until they change their
mind.

	I thought that Java 1.1 was a brand new think in Netscape 4.5.
I didn't realize that they'd already jumped to Java 2.  Netscape's
instability makes applets pointless anyway.  The last thing I want to do
is make my customer's browser crash.

Have fun (if at all possible),
