The slides were originally written in Feb/March back when we still 
needed the plugs.  And at the time of JavaOne none of us had 
incorporated Gervill.  I did say in the session that we were all on the 
verge of being 100% and that soon the plugs wouldn't be required.

Duke is bald and every time I see 'plugs' it makes me think of hair 
plugs and Duke with hair doesn't make sense.  So of course the plugs 
have to go.
