[lug] Java Applet

[Jim McMaster]

Could you send the current time from the server along with the applet?  If 
you then get the time from the browser platform and compute a difference as 
soon as the applet started, that difference could be used to recompute the 
server clock time pretty closely whenever you needed it later.
