Rich system API, everything inherits from Object (helps in many
situations), the relization that 99% of time I was using ptrs it was
only to keep a ref to some struct in RAM (the only time I have ever
found a use for them is when for some hardware reason you *MUST*
address a specific address in RAM) for low level work you can turn the
GC off via a non-JVM compilor, etc. Basically it lets me not worry
about low level details that are pure book keeping vs. some
performence/functionality gain

Also, that email address for Henry bounced
