response this once. No more on this issue. If there is any, it should
be Java-MS-whatever-interest. And Bruce, I don't take personal mail
from newsgroup. Post it on the newsgroup not mailing me personally.

An unorganized graduate students fleet is certainly very helpful.
It is up to Sun, if they want to do it.
