Just had time for a brief test ...
Only needs about 2K more RAM - Good.
Lets you dial directly after installation - Bad; but terminates
gracefully with "insufficient memory message" - Good.
When you click on a link (redirect?), often just gives a blank
page and makes no attempt to actually load the page. You
then need to press <enter> so it will load. - Bad.
After a while, trying to use Yahoo mail, kept getting error
message from Yahoo about "Your browser sent a request
that this server could not understand. Request
header field is missing colon separator." - Bad.
Checked on previously reported "xSwap crash" URL ...
still crashes - Bad.
Faint with hunger ... must go hunt some food ... no time today
to check on the other previously reported bugs ... ;-)
See ya!
Joe.
