Yes, I can.  Using PowerWindows 2.2, Mozilla freezes when launching.  Gets
the splash screen and just stops.  Using the build from Tuesday I believe.

hope so.

Please don't make disparaging comments about Greg in public, he makes some

really cool stuff that makes my computing experience more pleasant.

having

typed that.  PW 2.3 works fine w/ m15 from Sunday.  Appears fixed.  Alas,
my

MacOS is OS9 and the priority ought to be p5.  We can just disable.
