Everyone on the list freely contributes what they know, it just takes awhile to catch up to you guys and gals. If at all possible, get the real Java installed if the new licensing scheme is finally in place. That alone might quell some of the bugs related to Java.

Can someone explain to me why a new version has to come out every six or seven months? Shouldn't there be a long term release? I actually don't mind that much but i always wondered about that, it has got to a major pain in the ass or maybe not but i'd still like to hear the reasoning behind it.
