Probably not. Most of the crashes are caused by programming bugs which are extremely difficult to diagnose and fix, and lately I haven't had the time.

Ah, well, 'twas an idea. Are any of the other countdowners able to help you, or has apterous evolved beyond that which Jono knows about?Charlie Reams wrote:Probably not.
