Okay. Here ya go.

You time *yourself*.

Start here:

http://www.sun.com/

Look for 'Downloads' in the menu in the top of the menu. Hightlight
(mouse over)

Look at the drop down window and 'see Java JE' (that is what you are
looking for right?) click

See "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 3" (means JRE version 6
update 3) Click)

The Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java
applications"  (that is what you want?) click on download

TaDa  The link I gave you first.

How long?

No one minds helping. But it helps you if you *try* before you *fail*
and ask for help.
