Here's some Help for JAVA CHAT .......
In reply to: sunny 's message, "CHAT for Mac Users ??" on Sun, 08/17/03 4:44pm

Hi, hope the Chat Room works OK for everyone :o) ???

First caution: beware of the Pop-Ups !! This may hide the
chatroom entrance behind it :o((

2nd caution: The Java applet maybe VERY slow to load at first, so patience is needed. As long as you see the grey box with the coffeecup in the corner ITS LOADING !!

If you don't see the greybox with coffeecup, then you'll need to go to the JAVA site and download their free software [sorry, I don't have the link, but a search should take you there easily ]

Here's a little from the HELP page, for folks who want to get on top of this stuff ahead of time :o)
