Dear Scott Treacy,
How can you categorically state "Java _has_ arrived" when I send a
letter like that about a Java book as good as B.J. Holmes' "Convert to C
and C++"? Anyway, I _know_ it's arrived. Don't get your knickers
in a twist.
Your reply reminds me of Woody Allen in "Bananas", when he gets
elected the first revolutionary president of the newly formed Central
American banana republic.
After the terrible civil war, he wants everyone to have clean
underwear from now on, so his first decree is that everyone should wear
their underpants on the _outside_, to allow for easy checking. After a
huge civil war, to depose the dictatorship, all the guerrilas' jaws drop
open, and they look at eachother as if to say "Uh, oh...".
