    Remember--a year ago, maybe eighteen months, Be promised its users that the J2SDK for Be was done. They basically committed themselves to a pact signed in the blood of their unborn children that J2SDK would be in people's hands by that year's end.

    Never happened. And up until the day Be folded, they kept on claiming J2SDK was on track and wasn't delayed.

    If BeUnited wants me to believe J2SDK is going to be released for BeOS, the way to do it is simple. Release it.

    Until then... no offense to the BeUnited guys. But like the song goes, "won't be fooled again."
