Guest TomV Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Re: New Java Runtime Environment Update (2) Hi, Heather, If you're going to stay with JRE 1.5.0, it's probably best to use 1.5.0_12.

Guest TomV Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Re: New Java Runtime Environment Update (2) Hi, Heather, I'm well, thank you. I had seen a couple of your posts that you were traveling in Portugal. Was it not a good trip? Or are you referring to some of the recent goings on in London and Glasgow? I had something of the wanderlust this morning and was looking at photos of Venice. I've been there twice, and for some reason I found myself very much drawn to it today. Maybe I had a role in the Inquisition in a past life. ;) I hope you're well. Cheers, Tom Heather wrote: > Thanks, my dear......what would I do without you re Java and Firefox, > lol.
