    A Java Based Stopwatch and a Visual Basic StopWatch.
    The java one is much cooler
    Also a dos based arithmetic calculator.

    Again, tell me what you think and post up errors, suggestions and other stuff

    I like the java version, quite simply yet sophisticated,and the code pretty straightforward

    Blood lust it would help if I did not have to decompile your java code.
    Next time please include the source.

    Default Nice code

    Nice app,
    Try and keep your methods below 40 lines. When a method has to go above 40 lines then that should be a flag to say you need to make it more OO.

    Then your program becomes too chatty. meaning lots of method calls all over the place. It not easy to find a good balance between good design and performance.

    Break up the Stopwatch into a more OO design and sprinkle some time-stamps over key areas and see what happens. I would think that the performance would not be impacted.
    Caveat -: If you run it on an old 386, I would agree that performance maybe an issue. However, if you run it on a new box it would be unnoticeable.

    The java one is visually appealing, as usual.

    Code comment : I see nothing wrong with it, design-wise that is. The stopwatch constructor is easily read and does not need to be broken down. I would recomend breaking it down whenever the logic gets difficult to follow even if efficiency breaks down. Also I ran it a couple times and no bug detected.
    Let's act on what we agree on now, and argue later on what we don't.
