Hi, Katie,
It's 5.2.3 for the Mac.
Both the download page and the upload page seem to
take a little less time to load with my IE than
Netscape or Firefox, but the big difference is when I
renew the books I've downloaded to work on. I can
renew a back, it"back" aftert I get the thank you and
instantly get back to my list. with Netscape and even
firefox I have to wait in between while the page
reloads.
