Kyle,
	Congratulations on the cool new system! 
	I have OmniWeb running on my non-turbo cube. It occasionally crashes, but leaves the system up, and most sessions I get through with no trouble. I’ll check version number tonight and update you.

	How much memory is in your system? 
	How much disk space left?

	There is a distributed.net client - you can be the second NeXT contributing to RC5-72:

	But obviously, we need to get your browser playing first.
