Plus, the paper is thin enough that wetting it makes it more transparent.

Depends how young, I guess.

It is, of course, dynamically allocated. The fun thing is to compare the 
size of the .class file with what you could build by hand. VADz is an old 
technology to compress all kinds of interactive graphics down to a 
relatively tiny size - we could put online order forms in a banner ad 
smaller than most people could fit an advertisement in an animated GIF.

It is strange. You'd think it would work or not. Maybe you're using some 
feature which has to be supported by the card to work?
