We introduce and implement two novel ideas for modeling lensed quasars. The first is to require different lenses to agree about H-0. This means that some models for one lens can be ruled out by data on a different lens. We explain using two worked examples. One example models 1115+080 and 1608+656 (time-delay quadruple systems) and 1933+503 (a prospective time-delay system) all together, yielding time-delay predictions for the third lens and a 90% confidence estimate of H-0(-1) = 14.6(-1.7)(+9.4) Gyr (H-0 = 67(-26)(+9) km s(-1) Mpc(-1)) assuming Omega(M) = 0.3 and Omega(Lambda) = 0.7. The other example models the time-delay doubles 1520+530, 1600+434, 1830-211, and 2149-275, which gives H-0(-1) 14.5(-1.5)(+3.3) Gyr (H-0 = 67(-13)(+8) km s(-1) Mpc(-1)). Our second idea is to write the modeling software as a highly interactive Java applet, which can be used both for coarse-grained results inside a browser and for fine-grained results on a workstation. Several obstacles come up in trying to implement a numerically intensive method thus, but we overcome them.
