Re: midi+animations+synchronized sounds

***********************
This also explains why I am not interested in Javascript at all, it does not
allow you to push the ascii evelope beyond, for example, what has been possible
with (the non-web technologies) VT100 or ANSI decades ago. True, Javascript as
announced in this newsgroup (and published on the web, BTW) has definitely lots
and lots of room for lots and lots more sophistication, I don't deny that
either, but then, why use Javascript in the first place? Why not use Java in
the first place? And that is (one of the things) that I have done, it allows
you to go past previous confines ...

Just as I hit the send button, it occurred to me that I have an older cartoon
to go with the above (my own) quoted statement, enjoy!
