Geoff, Every security authority I deal with is advising that we remove, or disable, Java on every computer we have. This is a serious security issue and I was concerned that it might cause me to stop attending Legacy Webinars, which would be a huge disappointment to me. In order to determine the facts I contacted the GoToWebinar folks technical support staff a few minutes ago and asked them if Java were required to attend webinars supported by their software? The explained to me that Java was no longer a requirement to attend a webinar supported by them. That answer is contrary to what they post on their website under System Requirements, so I pressed for more detail. Their support engineer advised me that I could download their software, then launch that software manually, with Java disabled on my computer. If for any reason that manual launching did not work they said to reload their software and that should allow me to connect and attend the Legacy webinars.
Considering the global concerns about Java, and the thought that my explanation might not be the best to cover this issue, it might be a good idea for Millennia to contact GoToWebinar directly to obtain a set of directions about this issue for posting on the Legacy website, and distribution for potential webinar attendees. That would go a long way towards relieving concerns about Java. :-) Best regards, John John Zimmerman Mesa, AZ On 1/28/2013 11:42 AM, Geoff Rasmussen wrote: > > If you have Scottish ancestry, don't miss Webinar > Wednesday presented by Marie Dougan.
