[ale] .NET

[Dennany, Jerome {D177~Roswell}]

ActiveX is the "marketing" name for technology (OLE) that pre-dates java.


Note that netscape is not "original" by your definition, as Mosaic predates Mozilla (netscape's original codename).


I'll grant the point on vbscript, however.  I abhor vbscript.
