I’ve had it. No more Java applets in web pages for me. I’m turning off Java in IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera. The horrible performance penalty imposed by Java applets isn’t worth it, even on the fastest of systems.
With Flash and JavaScript (AJAX, etc) being readily available for many users, you should seriously consider avoiding (or replacing) Java applets on web pages in the future.
I should have done this a long time ago.
