  I'm installing a Java-OS network, and you may rest assured that it
will be able to pull up XY (although I'll probably be the only one here
using that), as well as any windoz, loser95, or NotThere app. Warp apps
as well, I think, are possible, but I'm not sure we will pay for that,
since we don't own any at present, but do have one Warp Server, which
I'll use for the windoz and dos apps if I can. We don't own any loser95
apps either, and won't, if I can help it -- but might be forced to at
some point, if developers don't follow Corel's lead fast enough.

  Oh but there will -- the Java chip. And not just "possibly" DEC
Alpha, they're pretty popular already on the Linux front already.
