Re: [A85: Re: Here it is, the Sqrxz and Super Mario 86 level competition!]
All right, here is where your trashing of PCs is a little off. MRJ only
supports JDK 1.1, which is very old (JDK1.2 has been out for more than a
year i think). While Microsoft's JDK also only supports 1.1 and is not very
compatible (done intentionally?), Sun makes a JDK 1.3 beta for the PC as a
reference implementation. This is a full 2 versions above the Mac's. Apple
really needs to get their shit together with Java. They are seriously
falling behind. So if you want to do Java with the latest and greatest
JDK's, don't use MS or Apple's Java implementations... use Sun's (which is
available on Solaris and Win32).
