Wow! It runs on my 128 MB RAM Pentium II! I don't have a duplicate of the Shaw 256MB computers but clearly this is a great sign. One odd thing to report. When I tried to start Calculate it thought for a while, but didn't open it and went back to the home page. This happened on my 2GB Pentium 4 machine as well. This is great progress. Thanks!
