I just installed the pre alpha release and saw snow again starting in Q, Q switched the machines, sorted them alphabetically, so the real new virtual machine with the pre-alpha dod not have any snow. Well this release does have a version of Firefox on it and though it is a bit slow, accepting input in the addressarea it is acceptable in loading a webpage. In fact, it is working right out of the box, without ANY extra effort on my behalf. Not even activating networking like I need to to with my virtual Ubuntu (Under parallels on MAC OSX). This project is definitely going somewhere! -- Regards, Arnold
