Well, don’t worry, we are still up and running.

JOGL Website Updates & Docs

Beautified the JOGL Test Applet page and replaced the applet-tag with a object-embed mixed one.

Added a little a NEWT Overview writeup.

.. and fixed the html code a bit.

This just reminds me about previous code changes in regards to the Gears ES1 | ES2 test code.
