  Not that stupid. My company does virtual conferencing over the internet
using Java applets. The only version of Java that's guaranteed to work
on most people's browsers is 1.0.2. Even Netscape/I.E. 4 don't do perfect
1.1, let alone Netscape 3. So we don't really have much choice. however
much we'd prefer a more up-to-date java. Of course, all this is moot
if you're running a java server or if you can get the people using your
client to fix their browser or run the client as a java application.
