I would recommend reading Datamation magazine "Java Complete!" this March
1st issue.  It should make good conversation at IPROF.
 
Remember:  There _is_ a supported web server from Open Market that runs well
on the HP 3000.
 
Special topics to look for:
 
 "Move over ODBC! - Here comes JDBC"
 "Java based "Internet PC" under $500
 "Is Java Better than OLE?"
 "The Java Virtual Machine"
 "The Java Enterprise Platform"
 "Java makes Network-Centric Computing REAL"
 
 
  http://www.datamation.com/PlugIn/issues/1996/march1/DATAM.html
 
  Good reading...
