Indeed - I've got a guitar tabulature editor written entirely in Java and it
runs as happily on a Win32 box as my friend's Linux box and apparently
another friend's Mac. Rumour has it that WinCE has Java support (can anyone
confirm that?) and that leaves maybe about 0.5% of computers being used that
hasn't. (Old Amigas and STs!)

What I figured was an applet run in a browser, so we could point our
browsers to the lugnet.cad.dat newsgroup with the HTML interface and this
applet would kick in, and we could peer lovingly at the latest microfig
battle cruiser... =)

And as we all know already, Lugnet is exceptional too - would that make it
exceptional squared if it worked? =)
All we need is someone with a good knowledge of Java now...
