OK, I installed Netscape Communicator 4.01 (I think it's higher now) and
hey presto the applet loaded and it worked...!

It looks pretty well designed and is possibly the first useful
implementation of the much hyped Java that I've come across (I mean for
me, personally). However, it was very, very slow to load, of course, and
very, very buggy.

I'll probably stick to phone banking but is fun to try out.

BTW, Communicator seems pretty slow all round to me for browsing and
loading images.

Cheers,
Matti,
