I did this project a couple years ago for an engineering class where we had a *very* simple java application that showed something resembling a light switch which you could use to turn the project on and off. The first time we showed it to the instructor, it popped right up and worked fine and he wasn't too impressed. A couple weeks went by, we added a jpg startup image and a Thread.sleep(3000) to the code and changed nothing else. The next time we showed it to him, he was very impressed with our work.
