If you're concerned about the need to install and use Java, there is another 
alternative: install an IRC client and connect directly to the StarChat 
network instead of logging in through the web interface.  This eliminates the 
need for Java and provides a more stable connection.

Since I use Linux, I don't have any specific recommendations for Windows IRC 
clients, but this article looks like a useful guide:

Perhaps some Windows (and Apple?) users who already use IRC will chime in 
with further suggestions.  For Linux, I like the XChat client.

C'mon in, the water's fine!
