And this was in my PlayBuddy Newsletter this morning: 

IMPORTANT NOTE: As you may have heard, Pogo announced that the new Java 10 release may render their Java games inoperable. They have begun converting some Java games to HTML5 (i.e. Aces Up, World Class Solitaire, Turbo 21, etc); we will continue to update associated Buddies accordingly.

So I'll be avoiding that update as long as possible!

To be safe, I would turn off automatic updates in the Java control panel.

I have it set to check for updates but only notify me before downloading.  I'm safe, right?   I'm beginning to NOT trust much of anything.

Hopefully all the games will be converted over so we'll never have to worry about it anymore.

Thanks for this info.  I turned java auto updates off.  Pogo must still have about 50+ games that still need Java.  Thats an awful lot of games to lose.

Greetings all you PogoCheats,
I updated JAVA on one of my computers.  Checked out about 10 games using JAVA...all worked great.  But, to be safe I'll not update my other computers at this time. 

It is really a "Crap-Shoot" on what browser to use.  To me, some games and autos work best on Chrome some on FireFox and some have to run on Internet Explorer.  Additionally, all my four computers have different preferences.

And Yes, My wife and I have been drinking Boxed wine from Walmart of course.

It's possible that the Java 10 release only effects some game negatively. Let us know if you run into one on that computer.
