But then there are patrons who do not have Java turned on, do not have Java
plugins installed, do not have Java capable browsers due to using older
machines with limited RAM, or do not like having Java on.

I for one fall into the last category, I got tired of pages with stupid
Java tricks and so use the web with Java disabled.
