"Hello, World!" is traditionally the first program one writes when learning a new programming language.
This version is only a little fancier than most, in that the applet background and text are in color!

I've included this applet here for three reasons:

• First, it will tell you whether or not your browser is capable of running Java applets.
• Second, it's about the simplest possible Java applet for those aspiring programmers who want to understand how these programs are run inside a browser.
• Third - hey, I had to include something in this collection that I wrote myself!
