I'm a big fan of new releases of anything, and it's nice to see Java is _still_ moving ahead and staying current (and in the news).

No offense but Why are you running age-old versions of your browser and kernel then? :-)

Hehe, it's a work computer. I have 2.6.18 and Slackware 11.0 on my home machine, honest!
And as for the links version, I'm not a big fan of the >1.0 releases (they've crashed on me...how does a text browser even crash?!).
