    Sigh...  Explain to me how your damn Mac is going to connect to
    the stinking URL when you are connected to the Internet via
    a terminal program running through a 2400 baud modem?  Yes, I
    am REALLY waiting to know how the Mac manages to connect
    to the URL.  

Jesus H. Christ! Are you serious?

    I tried it myself with Lynx just now and it appears just fine.
    I guess your Mac is not up to the task.  If you want to be
    an annoying idiot and make stupid comments without knowing
    the situation then I have no problems at doing the same.

Well, I just tried it with my Mac and it works fine. BTW, the first
sentence of the page refers to porting Java to Linux. I doesn't seem to be
all done.
