We have had the freezing problem, running the 7.5 software on the Macs,
but with 7.1 on the Mac server.  This is a continual and frustrating
problem, and especially when so many students are trying to finish their
term papers and reports-- the machines hang.

I wish these companies would get their software bugs out before
unleasging hem on the public.  I wonder how many technophobes they are
creating each time they release faulty software!
