Well, since Kehvan made sure to address me, I figure I better chime in ;-)

It doesn't look too swift on NN 4.5, but then, I'm old-fashioned. I admit 
it. I also looked at this:
http://svend.neoideo.dk/flow.html -- hmm, javascript error. The 
International Herald also immediately greeted me with a js popup that told 
me to get a better browser.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I'm fond of that idea (I do have other versions, 
actually, I just like to be stubborn sometimes).

But, I am glad to know progress is being made.

Thanks!
