          ^^^^^^^

  I experienced Link Hang too, and it took several minutes of serious
head-scratching before I realized that the culprit was Vaccine. Link and
Vaccine don't get along too well together. If Link appears to hang, try
hitting the 'y' key to override Vaccine's "silent check." Better yet,
get rid of Vaccine and use RWatcher or GateKeeper instead.

  Vaccine is great for the general Mac population, but if you spend your
time in MPW and LSC, it'll drive ya nuts!
