It's already explained above. You're not removing the old JPanel object but rather are creating a new JPanel object and trying to remove it before it's been even added (makes no sense), and are leaving the old JPanel in place.

Also, where are the tutorials? Other than the basic intro, I haven't seen any in-depth tutorials on the sun site.

You must be a much better Swing coder than I since the Sun Swing tutorials seem pretty darn advanced to me, and I still don't know half of what is contained in them.

I guess what I was asking is why it worked on the Mac OS but not the Windows? I thought execution was to be the same across all platforms?

Doubt it, this is the only tutorial I know of: Trail: Getting Started (The Java™ Tutorials)

Look at the BigIndex and you'll also find this:
Lesson: Using Swing Components (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing)

Wow! Thanks! I never saw those before.

BTW, looks like the redirections have been resolved on the Oracle/Sun site, I can get to the docs now.
