Hi Aaron,


I have the same computer / OS combination. I am using the squeak-dev
based image, but based on version 3.9.1 without problems. I have just
downloaded and started sq3.10-7159web08.05.2 and I see a small visual
problem (a progress bar looks a bit strange).

Is that what you mean? Can you tell me how I can reproduce more of
these visual errors?

In the mean time it might be hepful to use one of the 3.9.1 based
images, however you won't get look enhancements out of the box.

Also, about the todo app that you were working on: you can probably
recover it from the changes file, see "How can I recover my work if a
crash has occurred?" in
  http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2168

Cheers

Matthias
