anther note... I'm running lw on my g-3 266 MHz computer (os x 10.1.5). the best thing for keeping if from hogging my few precious MHz (besides disabling ultrapeer) was to switch the theme from the mac OS X one to the others (3.0 +)

sure. the menu in the program window is annoying, but the simpler buttons, and colors go a long way to speeding up lw's reaction time. If I can use it, read email, listen to itunes and have my web browser open, then, I'm sure you can.
