Yeah, it's something crazy like that right now. The good news is that 
they are talking to each other, and it looks like one can in fact take 
control based on natural user input -- mouse clicking. That's important.

I think this is going to work. Obvioiusly four applets is overkill -- 
wait till you see one applet control the display of an applet on 
another page! (And in a different browser!) (And from a different 
host!) That'll scare 'em.

If anyone wants to help me design a rational way of implementing 
synchronization, speak up.
