To use this chat room, your web browser must support Java, JavaScript, and LiveConnect. Most do, but some don't do it very well. In particular, if you are using Firefox on Windows, you will need to upgrade to Java 5.0 or later. Firefox on Windows is also known to crash if this page is repeatedly refreshed, so avoid that. Internet Explorer and Opera on Windows both seem to work fine. On Mac OSX, Safari 1.2 and Opera have been known to work, while Firefox and Internet Explorer do not seem to work. Other browsers and other OS's have not been tested, but should work if they correctly implement the required standards.
