I just went to a local radio station's website to listen to a program being
streamed over the Internet. This was the first time I had done so with a
new Windows XP computer, and I was surprised to be told that I had to
download a Java runtime thing first. I thought Windows XP was pretty
complete.

Anyway, after being taken to a Microsoft site, which linked to Sun's, I
tried to download . . . but only got "Site does not exist" after selecting
the download page. Nothing works, not a link through their help or
anything, and even their contact page gives me the same "Site does not
exist" thing. Does this mean that I am not going to be able to run anything
that requires Java until the Microsoft-Sun thing is over?

Does anyone have the file that installs Java?
