That is some clear explanation Copelandia! Thanks for the analogy you
used, I think I might use it too some day..

The thing that worries me about JAP, is that you *have* to have Java
enabled. This can lead to extra 'water pollution' :-( Also, I think JAP
still has to few independent nodes to be really useful.
