Do I need Java?
I'm getting reminders to update Java. I seem to recall that it is important to keep this up to date for security purposes, but I also seem to recall reading that one may not need Java anymore? Edit...

Java is needed by many websites
It is java script.... that is often used for malicious purposes
But..many honest functions on websites like this one use java script for
Call functions to other routines
Update your java
Install "NoScript" for Firefox to control scripts on webpages
Note..with no script you are going to be doing a lot of click ok..to give permission for scripts, flash..etc... until you get all your websites correctly permissioned
