I may need to install Blackdown along with Sun. My first significant |
21 |
use of Java now that I have this working was not so good. The Java |
22 |
frame didn't draw the stock charts (or anything else) and then Firefox |
23 |
completely hung and had to be killed. I tried the web site ( |
24 |
http://www.thinkorswim.com ) a couple of times and got the same bad |
25 |
results. |

Now that I have it working it seems to me that it will be easier to |
28 |
maybe find a version that does work, assuming there is one. |

I have to try this on 32-bit Linux also to see if it's a Java thing or |
31 |
an AMD64 thing. |
