Hi Chuck,
If you can't Download programs from the internet using your AOL you must have a VERY VERY OLD version of Aol! From what I remember, I last used version 3.0 of AOL that a friend of mine had and I was able to minimize AOL and use netscape or any other program on my computer, I could use FTP or any internet program and I could download programs no problem. And I know that the latest version of AOL now is AT LEAST 4.0 maybe higher. So please check your version. Anyone ELSE reading this have AOL for their Internet Access? I can install an HTML version of a chat room problem is it's not as realtime as the java one. I just know there has to be a way to get things working for you. SEND me an email to
webmaster@cichlidfish.com and I can email you specific instructions on what you can try to download things with Aol etc. Like I said i'm not giving up on you

we'll get your Java working somehow!
