Since you can't get a good internet connection, perhaps you need to do
the footwork, and distribute a DIFF file so that somebody with a good 
connection can do the build and upload thing. It would probably take a
bit of work to get that set up, but I suspect that your wife would be 
happier.

FWIW, I would like to see a statically linked version of FF (at 
least), just because I am running out of shared memory space, and I am
also running out of ways to solve the problem. Currently, I cannot run
FF and TB at the same time, without crashing one, both, or something 
else (fortunately, I use PMMail, which doesn't use very much shared 
memory space). 

BitWise is building the dynamically linked version, so let them do 
that, and concentrate on a statically linked version. Many of us would
be grateful.
