Lately, I have been forced to use my laptop which has Windows installed to access sites that make extensive use of Java. Unfortunately, even ESPN, which I access extensively, needs Java to operate correctly. The only viable options appears to be reverting to a deprecated version of Firefox or keep my laptop at my side at all times. That also poses a problem since I really hate retreating. I know that this will not be a popular suggestion; however, rather than spending time bumping version numbers in FreeBSD, perhaps the developers could invest some time in making the present product more functional. Example: drivers for 'n' class wireless cards. Virtually none exist in FreeBSD at present. The inclusion of a modern version of Java. Nothing in the notes I have read regarding the still unofficially released 8.1 version leads me to believe that either of these deficiencies has been addressed. Just my 2=C2=A2. --=20 Jerry FreeBSD-Ports.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
