Mjolner always uses understatements ;)

Well, I`m still using my all-favourite editor HomeSite for that purpose.
Sounds stupid? It is for sure, but I like HomeSite :)

A comment on Java:
How can a programming language be called "object-oriented" if you
concatenate strings via the "+" sign?
Oh my god, look at BETA - THATīS object-oriented :)

A quite inexpensive tool ;)

I doubt that.
The people rather seem to like a language formerly known as "oak" which has
been pushed with many millions of dollars spent on marketing, events and so
on Mjolner does not have (I guess ;)
I guess it would be a totally different world if Mjolner would have started
to build its own server hardware and selling simple power cables for 30US$
;)
