5 years so far, still no 64 bit java browser plug-in

I can't believe it's been 5 years!
Can it actually take 5 years to come up with a 64 bit java plug-in?!?!?

Do the Sun & Apple Chiefs have beeves.... with who does jobs not have a beef.... his locked in customers?

On a different note, read yesterday that IBM has a Mac Pilot going. Their lab-scientists want them it seems and they are happier.

I've been in PC support for years and had to support macs back when they were using OS 7, 8 and 9. I HATED those OS's. They were crap. When OS 10.3 came out I could not believe how nice and stable it was, without the spyware and virus problems! In my opinion, being a PC support guy, I rather support mac now (or linux) then windows.
