Applets? Evil! You'll be recommending Swing next (spitting noises)
As you might guess, I'm not a GUI fan. HTML is a god-send.
I had a little while off and made a scoring app for our foos table, add/delete players, record scores, view results as a table or per person.
Alternatively: Footy-tipping, address books (always a favourite)
Other thoughts?
