OT Java?
My computer keeps telling me to update Java. I can find no trace of
existing Java on my computer apart from an earlier update which I must have obediently downloaded. Is this something I need? I hate to have my hard drive cluttered up with unnecessary stuff. Olwyn Mary in New Orleans |

The sad thing is, even computer people can't keep up with everything coming out. sigh. Joan |

We have an in-house network of 5-6 computers ( yup just two of us), so when these comes up, I yell at him and ask if I should. Most of the time it appears that Java is good...but the we have Windows 7 as the operating system...if one has an older one, our techies will have the answer. just answering the frustration point!

Gillian I was about to download it, in fact I started to do so, and then, partway through, a little box came up informing me that I would receive, for FREE, a Yahoo toolbar. No charge, great privilege. Now, it so happens I do not have a Yahoo account, do not want one, do not need one, so why would I want a Yahoo Toolbar? I promptly cancelled the proceeding,and will do without, thankyou. Olwyn Mary in New Orleans |

You can still have the Java update without the toolbar. Lucille |

The following explains Java and why you need it: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/whatis_java.xml You probably already have it. This latest go-'round was an update. And as another pointed out, you needn't include any extraneous software you don't want, such as Yahoo tools. Dianne |
