      So, let me see... I download the toolbar and click on "word processor". Loading...

      (Wow, it takes a long time to download an entire word processor.)

      Ah, applet loaded. Except wait, all I see is a gray box with that stupid coffee cup logo in the corner. Oh, I only have version 1.4.2.357839 of the Java runtime. Looks like I need to download version 1.5.3.4849320.

      Downloading...

      Ah, here we go. Ok, need to uninstall the old runtime first.

      Uninstalling...

      Ok, now install the new runtime.
