The only reason I have Java on my PC is that I run OpenOffice, and it's required. It is disabled in my browser and as soon as I find an alternative to OO that doesn't require it, it's definitely off my sys. I haven't checked it out yet, but maybe LibreOffice, not sure if that requires Java or not....as soon as I get some time (when school ends...)

Hmmm, reading the article, looks like it might be a candidate if I can get away with only the basics, since I only use it for school work.

Hi Borg,

The BASE component of LibreOffice requires Java.

Thanks for the link. Guess I'll go with what I have for now. There's always time to play around with it once the semester ends...
