A small Java
program that can be embedded in an HTML page. Applets differ
from full-fledged Java applications in that they are not
allowed to access certain resources on the local computer,
such as files and serial devices (modems, printers, etc.),
and are prohibited from communicating with most other computers
across a network. The common rule is that an applet can
only make an Internet connection to the computer from which
the applet was sent.
