Browser Note: Most of the applets linked above are directly from Version 1 of Seeing Statistics and have been successfully tested in a wide variety of computing platforms and browsers. However, a few of the applets are from the forthcoming Version 2 of Seeing Statistics and are more fragile. Generally, these applets require users of Internet Explorer on Windows operating systems to download and install the latest free Java virtual machine from http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html. Mac users will need operating system OS 10.1.5 or later.
