Now this is pretty much plain wrong!!!!
Java, in and on itself, is not inaccessible, it's stupid programmers
that write stupid java-applets,. That should never have been possible.
HTML is not netscapes fault, it w3c's, and netscape hasn't touched Java
very much, IE and Netscape had java-support at the same time. And
Microsoft haven't innovated shit. they have moslty bought their
"innovations" and Windows is alot more accesible than linux when it
comes to apps, In Linux you can't just start jaws and then pretty much
any other app without problems, try and do that on linux with X (say to
do something thee are no fileformat->text-app, You will fail miserably,
but luckily this is seldom the case for most of you. And you can happily
use Linux in console instead of X.
oh, well time to stop rantin and start sleeping...
