This applet will run on most modern web browsers, with Java JDK 1.41 enabled.
While a fast connection is desirable, a dial-up will also give satisfactory results, as the applet is 150 Kbytes, and each part class file is at most 30 Kbytes.
A fast computer will have a more noticeable effect on the speed of this applet than a fast connection.
The Java applet requires quite of bit of memory. For example, in addition to the memory that the browser window uses, the Java applet uses this much memory:
