  I believe I previously asked just which browsers were not obsolete,
and what fraction of the potential user popultation has them.  I await
even an approximate answer to this question.  
  The particular Java applet where I noticed the problem had to do with
information for Town Hall meetings on our local city budget.  An applet
that will run on everybody's browser next year is not useful.  A
compiler that will create applets that run next year is not useful.  As
Keynes said "In the long run - we will all be dead."
