1. here's some real java

/*
NCBSimpleExample
Visual Mining, Inc.

This program demonstrates the use of the Netcharts API to create,
populate and display a Netcharts bean.

The program demonstrates the use of a common model for integrating
charts into applications. It factors the chart definition into two
components - a static component and a dynamic component.

The static component, often referred to as the chart template, contains
that part of the chart definition which does not change from instance
to instance. It includes attributes such as chart style, layout, colors,
fonts and sizes. Chart templates can be quickly created with Visual Mining's
Chart Designer, a graphical desktop tool that allows point-and-click creation
of chart definitions. Chart templates can also be created manually.
Chart Templates can be stored in separate disk files, or inlined as
string variables.

The dynamic component of a chart definition contains the attributes which
change between invocations. Typically this is the actual data to be plotted,
axis bounds and titles. This data is fetched or computed at runtime and
added to the chart through the NetCharts set() api.

The program can be compiled with a command similar to:
d:\jdk1.3\bin\javac -classpath "d:\NetChartsBeans.jar;." NCBSimpleExample.java

The program can be run with a command similar to:
d:\jdk1.3\bin\java -classpath "d:\NetChartsBeans.jar;." NCBSimpleExample

2. Good one (I think....)

I mean, we're talking 'bout dead guys in plaid, right?

Know anyone that can help me get this bullet outta my arm in, lets say, a less than painful manner?

In the (hopefully slim) chance all this means nothing to you, you still gave me a good grin.

3. Yay!

Good catch - I wasn't sure if anyone would get that.

That coffee scene kills me every time I see it. High brow humor, I know.
