What browsers can use Out in America chat?
Although you can use any web browser to view the Out In America website, you need a Java-compatible browser to access our chat rooms. For a Macintosh system, we recommend Netscape version 4.77 or higher or Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. For a Windows system, we recommend Netscape version 4.77 or higher or Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher. Netscape comes with Java support (called a Java Virtual Machine or Java VM) already installed. Unfortunately, sometimes the Java VM breaks. On a Mac, this may be fixed by installing the Java patch. On both a PC and a Mac, you can reinstall Netscape being sure to download the full install of Netscape. We recommend not using the “Smart update feature” as this has been known to break the Java VM.
