If you've got time to play around with it, try Sun's java. It seems to
work quickly for loading applets, but if I were you I wouldn't bother,
unless you view applets a lot.
http://www.free-applets.com/MissileCommando/MissileCommando.html takes
about 6 seconds to load to where it says "game over" with a verizon home
DSL connection.

I'd just wait until they improve the software with successive releases.
The person who came up with the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
obviously never used software, because with a lot of stuff I try, it
sort of *works* but it's still hard to tell if it's really broken or
just inefficient. My epson C80 prints with gimp-print, but it looks
like crap and certainly not photo quality even though linux-printing
says it works perfectly with their driver. So perfect means smearing
ink everywhere, I guess.

Anyway, glad you got it working. :)
