I tried to run one of the Java applets today but couldn't. The website would not load in Safari 5.1.7, the latest version of Safari for Windows, and when I ran Internet Explorer, I was notified that Microsoft no longer supports Internet Explorer and that I should use the IE tab in Edge for anything requiring Internet Explorer. However, the IE tab in Edge would not let me run Java.

Since no other browsers even support Java, I have added code to the homepage to show the link to this page only in Internet Explorer. It now fails to show up in every browser I have tried, including Edge in an IE tab. Since the apps don't work in the IE tab, this is fine. But since I can't run Internet Explorer myself, I can't test whether it will show up there.

Since the widespread lack of support for Java makes these pages obsolete, and since Interactive Diagrams and Jocly are doing what these did even better, I'm considering retiring these pages.
