Title: FIBS on a Chromebook?
Post by: maria on June 28, 2013, 06:30:40 PM
Is it possible to play on FIBS using a Chromebook other than to access it via ParlorPlay?

Seems like it should be possible. I'd download JavaFibs to a USB flash drive. The cool thing about JavaFibs is theres nothing to install. Just plug the flash drive into a USB port, open the folder, find the executable JAR file and click it to open. The other necessary task is to download the current JRE file from the java website.

Thank you, Bob.  I tried that but it didn't work.  There MUST be a way to run Java on a Chromebook.  I've been googling possible solutions but none have worked YET. The last one was an app that mimicked Internet Explorer and I thought for sure that would work but it won't let me install Java.
