Isn't that one of the original intents of Java, that is embedded systems? Presumably Java does run in several PLC type devices, but I have no first had account on this; Java certainly is not popular or common there.

Does anybody know why Randall choose Wolf Blitzer for this comic? Does he have some relation to boats? [[User:Condor70|Condor70]] ([[User talk:Condor70|talk]]) 12:40, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 
:Presumably Randall knows, though it could be something as simple as "He's wealthy enough to have a boat and most people would know who he is". -Pennpenn [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.162|108.162.250.162]] 06:39, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
