[Boatanchors] Electric Radio Magazine index search

[Philip Atchley]

Hi,

I just checked this out.  At first it wouldn't run, though it appeared to be 
doing a download.  Just a blank where the Java App should have been.

HOWEVER, I downloaded the Java plug-in direct from Sun, loaded it and then 
went back to this site.  I just have a 56K dialup.  This time it downloaded 
and ran the index just fine.  I usually always run the "REAL" Java Plug-in 
but hadn't got around to installing it after the last Windows Install.

MS Windows has long had a problem with Java Apps and Java support has 
basically been eliminated from Windows XP entirely.  Download the REAL Java 
support directly from Sun and you'll probably be much happier with any of 
the Web Java Apps you try to run.
