I think it was (that's from my memory way back in 1994 or so):

"Write once, run everywhere"

Which quickly turned into:

"Write once, test everywhere" because of all the different VM implementations. That was back in the Java 1.0.1 days.

Write once, run anywhere... As long as the client has java installed and the versions are up to date... And the client has 50000 gbs of ram.
