- kalleboo 6y agoI remember in 1996 whenever you hit a page with a Java applet, the initial JVM initialization froze my browser for 30 seconds while the hard disk thrashed away. Maybe out home machine didn't have enough RAM.
- arethuza 6y agoI guess when I first used Java in early '95 the browser was written in Java (HotJava) so it didn't have that problem.
