Running Phoenix on my Mac, works as well as 1.23 ever did.

I downloaded Imprudence on my Mac. it worked fine for a short time, but when I went to a crowded venue it kept crashing to the point of frustration. My friend downloaded Imprudence on his PC and it worked just fine.
I also downloaded the old 1.2.3 browser. It works well, but it slow. I sure miss Emerald.
Again, thanks for the information.
Thank you Ms. Gridjumper. Great information in light of the recent decision to not allow Emerald.
