   The massive advertising campaign which said that Homeland Security   
   advised disabling Java on all browsers because of some severe security   
   hole.   
      
   Reading the Oracle web site link you provided gave absolutely no

   are.

   See how nice Dan C is. He not only called my attention to an   
   announcement that you had made, but allowed me to learn something new   
   about my newsreader as well. Well done, Dan.
