lol - I got a kick out of this post and I agree with it: *if* you're pretty sure 
the project will ultimately fail, and you're planning for the best way to point 
fingers and avoid the ax when it happens, then by all means, Java is the right 
way to go. Java is the new "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM".
