The computer in question isn't exactly shiny, but it's still a G4. I 
tried my SE/30, as well, and same problems, different machine and 
browser. My SE/30 is rather new to the internet (at least as far as I 
know) and I don't have the proper version of stuffit on here yet to use 
downloaded files. That's not to mention I've got twice the modem and 
iGetter (download management program) on the G4.

Incidentally, while trolling their website, I've noticed so far that they 
only use two different "types" of URL's for their downloads. I've been 
able to guess (about a third to half the time) how they abbreviate the 
actual filename on their site. This allows me to access their downloads 
without their ads (and the associated freezes, plus I can use iGetter 
this way. I downloaded about 10 Meg from their site today since I figured 
out their index, and didn't use a browser at all, so no ads to crash the 
system or program :)

Now back to on topic conversation; for those of you who haven't tried it 
and need a bit more stress in your life, download Lemmings from this 
site. Ten years ago, this game drove me nuts on a PC (running MS-DOS, 
which to me is much more sane than Windows), and today it picked up right 
where it left off.

Thanks for all the input,

J White
