It's also more prone to crashing on older, slower machines, and on Macs it's
an absolute disaster (but what do you expect from a product created on a PC
and ported to a Mac *shudder*).

I think it depends on what machine you're using though. Why the heck hasn't
someone on THIS side of the pond come up with a cheap thin client for public
