[P1] What's a Java Console?

[Rebecca J. Hoffman]

Actually, I am using the latest version of Safari. I wouldn't mind the 
java console so much except that it brings up the rotating beach ball 
and I can't close the window without forcing the browser to quit. At 
least, I haven't waited more than five minutes to see if the ball stops 
by itself.

This would be more upsetting if the beach ball weren't so pretty to 
look at, especially if you move it over one of the aqua jelly buttons. 
Oooo.
