The frustrating thing is that this issue has been known about for some time and hasn't been fixed. I find it unacceptable for basic functionality (like expecting the software to work when it is first started after a reboot) to be relegated to some future major software release. I'm in a position to be purchasing webMathematica as a delivery platform for a project I'm working on and really question Wolfram's ability to support/bugfix their product in dot releases if I were to run into issues since they don't seem to want to fix their bread and butter product. </end rant> -jbl On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 6:11 AM, David Reiss <dbreiss at gmail.com> wrote: > On Mar 26, 6:35 am, Nicola Mingotti <n-no-mingo... at g-spam-mail.com> > wrote: > > Helo, > > > > I'm using Mathematica 7.0.1 for students in OSX 10.6.2 > > and it works really nice ... when it starts. > > > I believe that this is a known bug.
