Hold onto your hats folks! There's a new release of Javatron planned for sometime next month (That's July). I still love my AudioTron!

- OS Look-n-Feel - nice snazzy buttons and borders to match your favorite look
- Message Display Editor - Scroll custom messages across the AT's Panel... read more
