Did you have a Mac nearby so you could toss the CD-ROM into the Mac
and show the same programs running on it?  Probably not, but if you
get a chance to do that kind of demo, that's pretty impressive, too.

We finally have a replacement Windows '95 machine.  I think we can
reproduce this and hopefully we can fix it.

This one's lower priority, but we'll try to fix it, too.

It turns out that much of the above problems actually occur on a real
Mac, too.  I'll have to check about the last effect.

Glad to hear it, 'cause we have to ship *soon* so we can start making
money and get back to work on still more features, etc.
