want to down open source materials like Java.com

Hello Art,
 
Welcome to the Community Forum,
 
Please go to the website directly here https://www.java.com/en/
 
Remember to uncheck any add ons with this install. They will cause havoic with your computer. So be careful what you are installing along with Java.
 
 
Hope this helps,

I received your note; it arrived at the same time as  a new badge.  The two triggered an experience I wish to share. A first glance my eyes overlooked one letter, so I began to wonder what a “Golf cap” badge would imply.  I looked again at the letter to study the image and realized that Imade an earlier omission.  Correcting cap to clap was easy -  but I had already began to probe the meaning behindthis added badge.  (The two e-mails arrived simultaneously and  were co-mingled in mymind. ) Did your gesture mean “a quiet act of praise,” or “a touch of anger,” expressed toward onewho wrote “to remind me I was slow, and someone else did a better job,” in his view. Maybe, this anger idea might  even suggest  dreaming that Art leave the Golf links to join insome less healthy back- room activities. I choose to believe the first alternative.   Thank you. Art Kappler [Tried to send this several times as e-mail but wasunable.
