Timmy, you've been a bad boy.  One-half hour detention for you, young man.  And
while you're in the classroom, you will write on the chalkboard 1e10 times:

JAVA IS NOT JAVASCRIPT.
JAVA IS NOT JAVASCRIPT.
JAVA IS NOT JAVASCRIPT.
etc.

You then have permission to go and shoot the marketing dweebs at Netscape who
decided to confuse two separate systems in the minds of users and developers
worldwide.

As far as the Mac crash problem -

Are you using a PowerMac?  Have you upgraded to OpenDoc1.1 yet?  Old versions
of OpenDoc crash under weird circumstances . . .

Other than that, I dunno.
