Hmm, understood. Maybe a way to help make the client happy then might be to

remind them that Java is plugin now... it isn't a part of all browsers

anymore, and the download is much larger than some other extended web

abilities. (There are also versioning issues with Java, but keep that big

gun in reserve.... ;-)


I don't have a direct link to a news item... the change happened about a

year ago, and I imagine c|net and other sources had stories on the "Java

now a plugin" angle... could this give you a little bit of dancing room

when talking with that client...?
