About Live Chats

To view the chat, you must use a Java-compliant Web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape 4.x or better. Set your browser to allow pop-up windows.

If you only see a gray block above, you need to download the free Java plug-in, which is available for free here at the Sun Microsystems Web site.

LFA Live Chats are moderated events. Web site visitors cannot pose questions directly to the guest speaker. You may Submit a Question either in advance or during the chat by using our online form. You also may use this form to suggest a topic for a future live chat.

During the chat, you also may submit a question using the box located at the bottom of the chat window.

Due to time restrains, guest speakers may not be able to respond to every question submitted. When possible, moderators may consolidate similar questions. Some questions submitted may not be appropriate for this setting.

A transcript will be posted to the LFA Web site, usually within 24 hours.
