Just that weekend I talked to someone, who asked me, why
some banking-homepage (with java) worked for his win98
machine, and why some other bank's web-access complained
about "non-existant or disabled java support"
I take it that you (or possibly the person who
told you) paraphrased that message? It is not
one I am immediately fmailiar with.
...on the
very same machine without any reconfiguration inbetween.
My guess was, that perhaps the latter bank required a newer
version than he had installed.
(shrugs) Perhaps the second applet used pop-ups,
and the message was from a JS based checker.
(Which leads to..)

zone reasons - he actually isn't exactly computer-illiterate.)
I have dealt with problems related to Java applets
that came down to a *developer* who had forgotten
that he had installed a pop-up blocker.
From a slightly different direction, I myself could
not figure why some of the web site pages I was
designing were missing an entire section, until I
realised that Norton was on 'suppress ads' mode
and *rewrote* incoming HTML to remove any div's
that were of class 'ad' (how clever and obscure
is that?).
My point is simply that unless I had detailed
information about the machine, browsers, installed
software (etcetera), I would not feel confident to
make *any* predictions about why a particular
applet or web page was acting in unexpected ways.
There are too many variables.
BTW - I hope the OP pops back by, I am
extremely curious as to why they want to
support 1.0.
