Operating System
A modern browser needs an
operating system and a timing system.
They are three parts of the one single Operating System or Browser. Check out this page to see which Java software goes with your operating system .

or just download the latest
Netscape browser with Java.

To connect to the internet you need a browser.
Is this true?
If you already know what a browser is you can skip the rest of this page.

O
nly one browser is specifically designed to run active web pages within itself. This is the Netscape browser. Before computers had browsers, they had modems.
You can still get a type of modem for your computer, which is an external, and sometimes an internal hardware device, called an
ADSL, sometimes named after the provider of the "fast transfer" asynchronous mode download provider, such as Telecom "Jetstream".
A browser is a software device. Most people use one of five common brands including the above mentioned I.E. and Netscape. There are Mozilla browsers, the latest being FireFox, and
Opera is another popular one, but it is not free and they all do the same thing. The difference about Netscape browsers is that they are the only ones which were designed to run JavaScript. The legal case which  Sun took against Microsoft proves this.
Netscape 7.2 browser
If you don't have it you will need to get it if you wish to continue to use your Windows O/S or to connect to the "internet" via one of many
"domains" , even though it will cost you. (See pricing pages.)
This is because the timing system is not part of the O/S or the browser, even though it is
shareware and bundled with them.   tion on this page.
A browser is the modern equivalent of a
modem (see). It is designed to run in conjunction with an operating system (O/S), and the browser and the O/S of the personal computer both share software. This means calls. For example, the computer receives an instruction to display a particular image on the screen. It has to know where to look to find the bits it needs and build the image which is required. Some of the information such as fonts are located within the O/S, some others are located within the browser software. One cannot work without the other. This is because the original DOS used a LIMs (Lotus/Intel/Microsoft) agreement for (virtual) memory allocation. When Netscape 7 was released this was renamed and is now called the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and Sun (Microsystems) took Microsoft to court and won forcing Microsoft to give up development of their own browser, which uses MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) protocols but will not be Java compatible past 2008. http://www.mhonarc.org/~ehood/MIME/
