Hands down, the Timex Sinclair Emulator wins over Java.  Which tool
would you rather have in your dishwasher, computer, interactive tv,
computer, phone, etc.?  Answer: the one that is the *complete*
operating system, that has a proven history, that has thousands of
applications, that fits in under 8K, that is written in a language you
don't have to train your engineers, and was the operating system of
choice for the number one selling computer in all of history.  Timex
Sinclair.
