I’m running OS X 10.6.8 and plan to continue using it for the foreseeable future. So far, I’ve experienced none of the Java-related issues that I read so much about. Same goes for Adobe’s much despised Flash plug-in.

I’ve filed the Macworld piece on removing/disabling Java, but for the time being I’ll keep doing what I’ve been doing: when I’m informed about updates, I download them, then nose around the web for any major issues related to them. If nothing serious surfaces in a week or two, I install them. So far, so good.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13607?rss#comments_17879 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 08:10:02 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13607#comments_17879
