| CryptoQuote running under Panther | Thursday, Nov 6, 2003 |
I have been unable to reproduce the display problems of CryptoQuote running under Panther. This may be some software conflict with another program, or just isolated to a particular model of Mac (Powerbook 12"), but I have yet to test on one myself...
