Java & Mac OSX = Nightmare

This is the only bad thing I have found with OSX!
The amount of websites I have wanted to use which use Java just doint work in OSX.
I am getting more and more annoyed finding out how many sites, which worked fine in OS9 just dont work in OSX.
What the hell have Apple been doing with Java?! They have messed it up real bad!

If you're using Internet Explorer, you're asking for trouble. Do at least use Safari

Except from ejecting the CD tray and installing viruese, Java should we pretty capable on the Mac, too

I have used every browser available to Mac OSX and these sites just don't work!

I ahve had enough and given up with OSX for Java, 0S9 handles it much better!

Seems a bit odd

Java is meant to work fine in OS X. I know that it is terrible in OS 9, taking ages to get going, and then running really slowly and crashing out. Is it something you are doing ?

poolgame.co.uk works fine for me. The chat site doesn't work.

You're true, i also have had a lot of Java-sites that didn't work on a Mac...

Anyone explain?
