Go to java.sun.com with the StarOffice browser and make sure the java
applets in the page actually work before you congratulate yourself...

Sun's download pages are terrible - you have go through a mock transaction
where you get billed $0.00, and then you get only one chance at
downloading each file. I'm getting Solaris 8 as I type, but luckily it
seems to support resuming broken downloads so it's been OK so far.
