Personally I'm tired of sun java and I think I'm going to start weekly builds of java 1.5 for public download.... and don't get me started with Flash, I can't even get that thing to install/working correctly, when it did work it enjoyed crashing Firefox all the time... Has anyone tried some type of petition to get a native version? never mind, I just made one so go sign it!!! http://www.petitiononline.com/flash4me/petition.html
