We've no near-term plans for adding Java or Flash.

Statistically significant, yes. Difficult to tell how many, though. One small
statistic: In the past 16 hours there have been hits from 572 different WebTV
IP addresses. At the one extreme, it could be 1 user dialing up 572 times.
At the other extreme, it could be 572 different people each dialing up once.
Probably it's somewhere in the neighborhood of ~100 to ~200 people accessing
LUGNET through WebTV today (Sun 18 Mar 2000).
How many times does a typical WebTV user connect to the Internet per day?
(I'm just guessing 3 to 5.)
Support for MSPIE on WINCE is also going to be important in the future, as are
other palm-based devices such as the Palm Pilot line, Yopi, etc.
