Bob, No exactly WEB400 stuff but, just to set the record straight, Apollo went to the moon nine (9) times: Apollo 8 in Dec. '68 and after that Apollos 10 thru 17 from May '69 thru Dec '72. Apollo 9 orbited the earth on March '69. Sorry about that... When a kid I was a *BIG* fan of the U.S. Space Program. I am still a fan, although not a kid any longer ... :-) Best Regards, Luis Rodríguez > > ------------------------------ > > message: 2 > date: Fri, 3 Dec 2004 07:49:11 -0600 > from: "Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx> > subject: RE: [WEB400] Question on CGIDEV2 > > Joe, > > Yes, starting up the JVM is getting faster... because of hardware > improvements mostly.
