Yes. Thank you for asking. I followed your instructions which said to
remove the old Java before installing the new Java.

Thank you for alerting me to the newer Java. I still don't know why I
need it in the first place but I'm glad to have the latest, I guess,
just in case the old one was compromised.

Of course, the new one will be compromised soon ... (and to think, I
remember something about someone saying Java was secure a decade ago).

Jeez. Whatever it is, it sure ain't secure!
Thanks for the advice,
Lisa
