ParaChat is Mac-friendly. Like most modern web applications, ParaChat
is under continual development. As such, we recommend that you
continually update your computer's browser and operating system to take
advantage of the host of incredible advances in web technologies such as
ParaChat.

As you may know, ParaChat is a 100% Java application. Since Sun Microsystems - the creator of the Java programming language - does not support Java on old Macintosh operating systems, there are known Java implementation issues with Java applications and Mac computers running older operating systems. The issue that you have mentioned is caused by Apple's inferior effort at emulating the Java VM. ParaChat makes every effort to accommodate Mac users as best as possible considering the Java implementation issues inherent in the Mac platform.
