I am not able to find Java access bridge at the Java.com web site. I used the search engine there and get no results for "jab" or "blind". Lots of results for "access" but none appear to be relevant. Where do they hide that thing?

Until I installed JAB over a set of Java updates a year or two ago, I was unable to navigate Amazon comfortably. Java is needed for any number of websites. The standard advice is to reinstall JAB over any new Java update. For that purpose, I keep a copy of the executable file around so I don't have to go to the Java website to retrieve it every time. Installing JAB is a quick, easy process thanks to Sun Micro's wizard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Carlson Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 4:25 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Getting rid of Java Updates Messages No. Not necessary. In fact, I only installed that to gain some not-so-wonderful access to Oracle. Haven't updated it since JAWS 9.0.

Today, I was asked about updating my HP printer software. I went ahead and agreed to it. In the past days, I'm prompted about updating Java scripts. What are Java scripts, and do I need to update them? Becky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
