JAVA is an internet language created by Sun microsystems and first implemented by Netscape.  It runs programs called APPLETS to allow for complex effects/procedures to be programmed into a page very simply and often times more elaborately that could be done without it.  However, a browser must support JAVA to see these applets run. 

NETSCAPE versions 2 all the way up to 4.77 all support JAVA natively, as does Internet Explorer 4.

Internet Explorer 5 and above do not support JAVA.  Internet Explorer 5 and above can be made to support JAVA with the install of the Sun JAVA Runtime Environment, available at Sun's Website.

Netscape 6 or above will support JAVA only with the installation of the Sun Java Runtime Environment listed above.

Mozilla (open-source version of Netscape) also requires a plugin to view Java, but will take you the plugin site automatically as needed.  You can download Mozilla for the Mozilla Website.  (Personal note:  The web browser is great!  I highly recommend it!)

Luckily, you do not need JAVA to view our site.  Just use the provided link to view our website without JAVA support.
