1) Xwin not an OS.

3) Java is ~30 MB of code...
   just the class libraries alone (which you *always* need) takes up 9MB

2) 68000 pretty damm slow as for a procoessors fors - consider it
probably runs about 1/200th of the speed of your P120 and think how fast
java runs on *that*..

3) how would you go about supporting Java's colour support....

the list goes on.....
