Mine arrived as well. One thing that has improved is its scrolling speed.
Definitely the fastest of any Mac terminal program I've seen.
It still appears that 12 point is the largest font I can have though.
I'll try patching in something larger, but I doubt it will work as he
appears to hard code font spacing.

I agree they're good, but I think Abelbeck breaks some Mac interface
guidelines, such as the font spacing being hard coded, and things
like the editor being a modal dialog.

And yes, the postage was prepaid, but Abelbeck should realize the
American postage isn't any good in Canada! :-)
