Even a essay on Java 1.0 would throw you off . The completely redid
the way events work, leaving the old way as  a legacy.

Motors make noise, and that tells you about the feelings and attitudes 
that went into it. Something was more important than sensory pleasure -- 
nobody would invent a chair or dish that smelled bad or that made horrible 
noises -- why were motors invented noisy? How could they possibly be 
considered complete or successful inventions with this glaring defect?
Unless, of course, the aggressive, hostile, assaultive sound actually served
to express some impulse of the owner.
