Thanks Brandy!
Yes, I did program the Mac in the 1990s in Pascal, then in Objective-C from
1992 to 1997 on NeXTStep/OpenStep. I've been programming in WebObjects since
then. I think I'm qualified to use MacsBug! I have it working properly on my
B&W G3, so I was puzzled while it wouldn't load on the 2300c.
