I just noticed my OSX was updated to 10.3.5 & apparently java was also updated (though I thought it was already updated according to the instal log). This is a small & partly irrelevant thread, but just to make the point to always make sure your Java is up to date with the most recent version. Just as a suggestion, make sure you run your softwre update at least once a month. I do it more frequently but then again some mac updates such as QT can have some bugs. (At least it's a damned sized less than all the bugs you get with Win updates! Hehehehe)
