Tom, By the way, do you have any thoughts about technical communication issues with the server when using Java versus using Javascript to implement the scientific calculator. I think Ted's calculator client is a Java applet, which might impact how it would communicate with the Sage server. We should really really have a collection of simple example java applets that communicate with a sage server, to explain how that can be done.
