Proof that people may completely loose objectivity when they think they hold the truth. And as far as I can tell those Os and libraries are still the most reused pieces of code ever (maybe with some Fortran math libraries which have been around for 20+ years). Of course if the goal is to make a maximum of money on consulting jobs or teaching courses Java is very very effective it seems. </offtopic> Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Red Hat Network http://redhat.com/products/network/ veillard@r... | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/
