See below David it may well be that your work machine has WindowsXP SP2 (Service Pack 2) installed and that has no Java Virtual Machine!!
Newsgroup highlights week ending November 12th 2004
As I just said in my companion Newsgroup advert
"I'll be brief this week as I have two other pressing projects to complete before meeting up
with some Lightheads at the tribute concert in Wayne NJ on Sunday"
I have liitle to draw your attention to on the NG this past week

to a thread about an amusing article entitled
"The Unhappy States of America. Re: Your application for
adoption by Canada"
which I thought was too overtly political to post here so I started a small talk topic at:-
Oops looks like our moderator has deleted it as it ain't there anymore!!
In another thread Valerie brought me up to date on the forthcoming problem with trying to use Java applets on web sites see:-

That is my companion corfid Highlights thread and I ended today's posting by saying:-
"Valerie really spoilt my week by warning of potential WindowsXP Internet Explorer Java problems because my chat room largely

clientprogram(mme).
although I did recently successfully open the other Java applet on my own web site a beautiful working Java powered Pocket
watch at:-

on several probably pre-SR2 equipped WindowsXP machines at my local college
Also I wonder how that affects MACs??
Anyway as the erudite Ed Mullen pointed out there are ways around this problem but for now anyone wishing to chat this
evening at 9 PM EST please go to:-
