Defend against the Darkside!

From Bob Burdeau:

"MS has not passed the java compatibility test and Sun is suing MS. Many people believe MS is trying to fragment Java and ruin its promise of 'write once, run anywhere'. In order to promote cross-platform use and keep java alive, I suggest joining in the Java lobby to keep Microsoft from killing off Java. Write the U.S. Department of Justice about Microsoft's Java plans. A sign-on letter is available [here]. There is also a Java internet poll that you can participate in [here]."

From Diane Pechenick,
