I just remove the reference to 
"http://laza.homeip.net/squeaksite/newstyle.css" from the StyleSheets 
page of http://box1.squeakfoundation.org:7777.  That has helped a great 
deal in responsiveness.  I am not sure who is responsible for this 
StyleSheet but if you could send it to me I will make sure it gets onto 
box1 so we can serve it from there.  Thanks!
