Hi Tony -
Suzanne sent me a copy of her note to you and I thought I'd send my $.02
also. We've been excited here at the Math Forum seeing your pages but my
computer (Centris 610, 33.6 modem, Netscape 3.01 assigned 14MB of RAM, no
trouble generally with java, 20MB installed RAM + RAMDoubler = 40MB) also
bombs regularly at your home page and on your formula enhanced page. Four
quick freezes and crashes discouraged me from further exploration, though I
was able to add some of your materials to our database.
I work for Gene Klotz and Steve Weimar as Editor/Archivist/Web Page
Designer at the Math Forum - you will probably see them in Pittsburgh,
along with Suzanne, if you are there.
Cheers - Sarah
