I had similar problems but attributed some of them to the messed up Mac version. The weirdest part is that the reviewer's characters is supposed to be a healthy male adult that weighs 69 pounds :). I'll report back with first hand thoughts soon! Hmm, doesn’t sound good. I had similar problems but attributed some of them to the messed up Mac version.
