Just a little off topic, but not much.
I uninstalled Java over 2yrs ago, and as of today, the only issue I have without it is, I can't go to Secunia and do their online scan..........That's it. I should mention that I don't play any games, ever.
With all of Java's holes, I just decided to dump it, and for me and my use, I couldn't be happier.
