Java? Who cares?
Other people that use it besides you? What kind of an answer is that? If you do not want to use it, fine.
Or you could stop living in the past.
That's a pretty mean response. No, the problem is that despite my computer being totally Mountain Lion and Mavericks compatible, my GPU fan runs fast, and the graphics are kinda slow in anything beyond Snow Leopard. My GPU is not slow, either. Lack of Rosetta is also a nuisance, but I can go around it.Inb4 "i have essential apps that dont work in Lion+"
I dont care.
Now all I need is for Google to make Chrome 64bit (and accept 64bit extensions/plugins) then things will be a lot better, Not having Jave in Chrome is a pain for me sometimes.
