Dear Bob Uomini,

    I put that message in from the posting in alt.www.hotjava.  It didn't 
seem the usual junk mail.

    Is it trash?  I'd like to know, because the InterNet is growing so 
rapidly that all everything is being effected.  Telephone companies, 
Magazines, Banking, Stock Markets, Businesses.

    I remember the story appearing recently of how Rivest, Shamir and 
Adleman, in the days before the InterNet, managed to publish, _by_the_skin 
_of_their_teeth_, the now famous article in Scientific American in 1979, 
about Public Key Cryptography.  Now RSA is a lynch-pin of many Net 
Services, including Java.

    Is it trash?



Sandy
