Lisa >

  This as you understand..is a very important issue.........
   JP&TC project means is very important to the JAVA/Web world as well
as to the OS world.......
   It can lead to less M$ reliance........and more power for
Linux........
    I reccomend to you all to visit SUN's site and try to find more abou
it .....as well as push for the inclusion
    of the Linux OS in this project..........it can mean alot...

John
