With all the static constructors floating around, and with the ld.so in 2.0.5, dish blows up quickly (and button gives me funky garbage, even with the ld.so changes that Doug made). After Doug's patches, dish works perfectly. That give me a warm fuzzy (or was that the homebrew I'm about to grab :-). The Fresco version I have doesn't look like Athena at all. Looks almost NeXTish to me. Maybe the new version does better. You have a direct connection to the Internet, right? I can plop a window up on your screen if you like.
