(I messaged you the rambling answer: here's the short)
--watch for posts by bootylicious (I'm too rusty on Classic, but will help when I can)
--major Mac OS bugs with java are too expensive to fix unless Apple releases its code to volunteers
--links for past Pro updates aren't stored (Pro Updates are dynamic)
--Pro email is not likely to respond to expired Pro requests

--Free is pretty much as good as Pro on Mac OS, and LW 4 should work the best.
