John,

I love Java. I've been all over the world talking about Java.

> threading
This is one of the sweetest features

> RMI
<g> I wrote a cover story and a book chapter about RMI,
and I was Sun's Jini evangelist before I left. But keep
things in perspective, we are not buiding a distributed
system here. I am of the "less is more" mentality when
it comes to software. Think small and functional. Most
software is way too complex.

As I said before, I think that a complex threading scheme
is a mistake. Someone else mentioned event-driven
structure, that makes sense to me. BTW I already have
captured Brainmaster data with Java. There is no need
for fancy/complex routines here ...

- Remote Method Invocation (Only used when needed!)

Cool but NOT needed. Believe me. I Am the original RMI geek.
I know the designers of RMi, they are good friends of mine,
and I was on their team ...

> - Eg You sit at home and send your EEG data ..

You think like me. If you want to do this yourself as an
experiment, go for it, but I don't think the OpenEEG
software should be written this way. I've already done
all of these things. See this article.

>BTW what is NF ??

NeuroFeedback.

Think small and functional my friend. Complexity
is not the answer.

Namaste,
Doug
