java I got the install OK message.
I've spent several hours working thru the OpenOffice Community Forum
threads that might be pertinent, and exhausted Google, but am now more
confused than when I started. Is the fundamental problem that Apple
doesn't like java and because I'm up to date with OS X and Safari, I
won't be able to use Base?
Please don't get the impression from the above that I'm a
well-informed IT geek; I'm not, but having read so many pleas for help
I understand the necessity to quote releases! I've celebrated more
than 25 anniversaries of my 50th birthday and find this digitised
world overwhelming... So advice in naive layman's terms will be much
appreciated.
