I agree. I have explicitly _not_ used such words as "crap" though. The problem is that kaffe (specifically - I haven't tried sablevm) has never been at a stage where I could use if for my own applications. If I can't use it _at all_ it's hard to get involved to the point where I could even do 1 & 2, let alone 3. And for the record, I wasn't "going on ranting" - Michael asked for specific details and I told him I couldn't give any because kaffe had never been usable for me. -- derek
