Mark,
Since we are in this area, what about this servicemark?
* at the Java Developer Connection <sup>SM</sup></li>
* <li><a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index-jsp-142216.html"
* target="_top">Java Foundation Classes (JFC)</a> home page</li>
Separately: does that "Java Developer Connection" refer to anything meaningful these days?
I could only find archival records such as:
