hi there

many thanks for all your answers which i will investigate.

it seems that the solution, if i understand correctly, is to increase my RAM to 1 Gb, buy a dual 1Ghz processor upgrade, invest in a T1 connection and wait for Apple to sort out their version of JAVA.

mmm, don't think the record industry has got much to worry about then!

but then again if there are only 3 engineers working on Limewire - who can be surprised?

if i could help i would but there must be some coders out there who have downloaded and benefitted from open source and limewire in the past. seems to me that if Limewire and products like it are going to succeed in the face of the industrial miltary complex then we'd better get our crap together. of course, everyone likes freebies until they have to pay or contribute then it's often sayonara...

love y'all!
