I would very much like a more experienced programmer to critique my
applet. It was my first project(I have done some
servlets since then).
It evolved over time gaining functionality. Although it works fine I am sure it could be better written. Things like using different modifiers for example. Just whatever you would have done differently. Im sure even I might have written it differently if all funtionality were planned originally.
