Resumen
The article focuses on various software languages and computer companies. The Java portable programming language is being hyped as the greatest invention in the computing field since the stored program computer. But is it not an new idea. Around 15 years ago, the identically same idea flowered under the label UCSD Pascal. UCSD Pascal was a portable version of the Pascal programming language, and UCSD stood for University of California at SanDiego, California, where the pioneering work in its development was done. The network computer (NC) is a low-priced, low-capability hardware device intended to simplify and reduce the price of using computers in a networked environment. Although the various vendors of these systems have not yet agreed on which capabilities are to be left in the machines and which are to be left out, the intent of the machine is that most programs and data will be obtained from the Internet, not the computer's own storage which will, therefore, be minimal.
