Comment 22 for bug 106060

"dondad",

I don't mean to be argumentative, but the Molecule freeze appears to be
more thorough. The keyboard and mouse do not work. At all. The only
thing that works is a hard-reset with the power key, or unplugging the PC.

Molecule did not freeze up my Mac, but it took MANY minutes before a
molecule appeared on the screen - about 20 or 30. The 32-bit PC version
just locks up solid. This was reported in April, and nothing has been fixed.

You do have an impressive array of hardware, though. Mine is minimal.
