Has anybody seen actual applets on Sun's
site recently? Got any URL's?

I went in search of them on the site recently.

I found lots of _images_ of applets,
as well as broken _links_ to applets,
their was a slew of applet _code_ and
many references to the applet _html tag_,
but I could not find a single _applet_.

It's different than it used to be. All I see is letters. It used to look
like the picture here:

I dunno what happened to it. It was a pretty cool illustration of deadlock.

Sun has abolished the use of Java applet on their pages because of
its outright platform dependency. You guess what I mean.

Half joke: Java applet is deprecated.

(slaps forehead) Of course!

I find the applet tag more reliable so I have to
call my html either '3.2'* or '4.01 Transitional' to
get it to validate.

* they used 3.2 in the example cited by Ryan
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/threads/DiningP
hilosophers.html
which, intrigueingly (is that a word??) still
does not validate..

I am glad I asked, thanks to you both.
