Java
If you are running a version of a Microsoft Windows and see only a broken link icon, you will need to download a copy of the Java Virtual Machine in order to use our chat room. You should be able to do this from your browser maker's website.
Older versions of Netscape (on certain platforms) such as v4.08, and v4.7x may not run our software. We strongly recommend upgrading to a newer version of Netscape (v6.xx or better) if this is the case. Certain browsers running on Macintosh platforms are not capable of running our software due to problems outside of our control. As WebTV does not support Java, WebTV users will not be able to access our chat rooms.
