Welcome Message to Online ENGL 2111 Students
Using Java
If you are taking a class of mine that involves online chats, you should make sure that Java is installed on your computer. I won't offer support for the installation of the Java runtime below, but if you possess the required knowledge and skills, here is the Windows binary installer for your convenience. I make no claim or warranty that the installation of this software won't cause your computer to lose some or all of its data, to turn into a pineapple, or to explode.
Footnote: Just look what my teaching assistant successors at the U-Dub have been up to. Long live the United Auto Workers! For the record, my generation had its own (threatened) labor action in 1981, when the legislature tried to cut our tuition waivers in order to fix their bankrupt Republican budget. We threatened to strike, and the university came up with money. Now that's what I call getting an education! In other news, my old home department seems to be suffering from a wave of defections. |
