re: Java. I've installed the version that comes with Opera and Mozilla
seems to pick up on that. Had no problems that way. Upgrading is a big
issue and something that should really be thought about. It's almost
time to move everything over to Moz (it's that good) I just don't want
to lose it all by uninstalling.
