If so, why Java applets in a web browser that Rosetta can run translated will not be able to loaded? (Suppose we already have correct JVM installed.) And how about flash plugins? Rosetta doesn't support mixed processes (has to be all PowerPC code) and Java on Intel doesn't run under Rosetta. As a result of those two Java on Intel cannot use PowerPC libraries nor can a Rosetta run browser use Java. <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/universal_binary/universal_binary_exec_a/chapter_950_section_1.html> <http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2005/qa1295.html> -Shawn p.s. please don't cross post _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
