67125 2002-07-31 23:54:00 There are a lot of Applets on this site. I can't see them because I do not use a Macintosh.

Please reprogramme site to use Windowlets so that PC users can see them too.

D-D

67126 2002-08-01 00:03:00 It seems that the (vast?) majority of posters here are PC users, we can all see the applets. Ahh... but you wont allow java applets to run, right? godfather (25)
67127 2002-08-01 00:05:00 If you have turned off java - then you won't see them. It is the way you configured your machine not the site itself. Heather P (163)
67128 2002-08-01 00:07:00 I looked at Microsoft's Web site, and they do not recommend Java so I have deleted it.

Maybe I will borrow a Macintosh so that I too can see Applets. Thanks!

67129 2002-08-01 00:15:00 OK, I tried Macintosh with Administrator's Java installed. It asks me if I want to delete Applet files on 210.48.100.45. There are a lot of icons in the folder.

Should I say yes?

67130 2002-08-01 00:15:00 Statistics show that something like 11% of people disable java so websites that use it will not be viewed in it's full glory.

It is irrelevant as to whether you are viewing the pages on a Mac or a PC.

If you borrow another machine all it means is that the owner of it has not locked it down as tightly as you have.

It is an issue of security versus usability.

67131 2002-08-01 00:19:00 Thank you again .

I understand that the problem is both on Mac and PCs now, and there are lots of disabled Java users who can not see full gory Web .

It is a concern!

67133 2002-08-01 00:20:00 Oh, and I ask before I borrow Mac, so that owner could unlock it for me first. DeeDee (1290)
67134 2002-08-01 00:26:00 Have I missed? Which one is this?

Macintosh shows ClassException . Error now instead of Applets . Must I reformat?
