Which is more correct - the car is moving faster than the pedestrian, 
or the pedestrian is moving slower than the car?

Since the OP asked about his Applet, the antecedent for "it" was 
the program, which would be *forward* compatible with Java 6.

If we had been talking about Java 6, the proper way to say 
that would have been *backward* compatible, not backward*s* 
compatible.

To correct someone, you must yourself be correct.
