Less stuff to install X=> (does not imply) less stuff will go wrong, Lawrence. For example, Lawrence, your statement is short but wrong, in the sense that it doesn't tie to its antecedents. Which is "less stuff", Lawrence, the use of applets? You don't say, Lawrence. Are you saying applets are the better choice, Lawrence, or that Javascript, Lawrence, is the better choice? Your statement is unclear, Lawrence, but even were it clearer I don't see any supporting evidence or what the reasoning, if any, Lawrence, might be. -- Lew Honi soit qui mal y pense. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Friz.jpg
