This is an electronic circuit simulator - you can modify and add components like switches, transformers and logic gates and see how they behave in the circuit.
JPC is an x86 PC emulator written as a Java applet. It's quite an impressive thing, having basically the same machine I had when I was growing up now running inside a web page. Plus, being able to play Prince of Persia doesn't hurt either...

JScreenFix is a very useful Applet: it rapidly turns on and off random pixels to prevent monitor 'burn-in' and to fix 'stuck pixels' on LCD monitors. If you've had stuck pixels you'll know how annoying they can be - run this applet for 20 mins and you should get rid of them. How cool is that?
