Re: java

You need the blackdown version and you don't have to install kaffe to see applets
download the jvm and make a symlink in your mozilla/plugins directory, that's all

Re: java

in case you have no clue what he's talking about (no offense Arielext.. but sometimes you need to be a little more in-depth in your answers)
You want to go here and grab this..

and then read this for more instructions

if your browser asks.. just open the above link as text.

I bought a dog the other day...I named him Stay. It's fun to call him...  "Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" He went insane. Now he just ignores me and drools.
