Damien, All,

I tried the web image, and I'm glad I did.  I cannot in good conscience rave 
about the keyboard response, but it is much improved over recent versions, and 
the anti-aliased text is stunning.

OmniBrowser is too slow for its own good, at lest in my experience.  I recall 
some mention of backward compatibility with Squeak preventing a refractoring of 
its handling of packages for efficiency.  If that is the last word, then maybe 
we need to re-think our dependence on it??  Perhaps I am too distant from the 
details to understand what it does for us, but the several+ second delays are 
getting old.  One reason I had trouble repackaging code was that the command to 
create a package is not always displayed: in fact, it is _not_ displayed 
precisely when (by selected item) it is needed most!  Specifically, it does not 
appear when a "non-packaged" item is selected.  Another thing that bit me is 
that, especially in categorizing methods as extensions, I had to re-type the 
desired category many times.  There appears to be some learning of the 
categories, but it is slow to happen, and did not occur in time to save me from 
myself.
