[Personal Accountz is written in Java]


The point about running in Java is that it is portable between OSs
capable of running recent Java - which of course excludes RISC OS.

Yes, but you're missing another major fundamental point. With Java you
end up with everything within a walled garden and the user interface is
horrible.




Huh?  Have you ever /seen/ a copy of Personal Accountz, Paul?
I haven't seen a copy of Personal Accountz, so I do not know what it looks like. I am willing to bet that Paul's response will be that he was referring to Java user interfaces in general. This will neatly side-step the issue of him having seen or used Personal Accountz. :o(
