Here we go again.  Never been able to get Java plugin installed.
Tried again a few months ago, and again yesterday on the clock applet
link.  Although the blurb says downloading takes 19 minutes on a 56
kilobaud modem, in reality it takes well over an hour, $2 worth of
connect time at best, $6 at worst.  At the end of that hour it
blithely informs me that download was unsuccessful - error 202.  What
the hell is error 202?  And is there a chance that the file could be
cached somewhere?

Apologies for hijacking the thread.
