I bought 5.5 and on three machines have had lots of screen problems. The
folks on the NB listserv were very helpful (a good list), but no one could
solve the problem. And apparently many experienced it. (Specifically the
screen flickered, the result, if I remember those posts, of a conflict in
screen handling between the command line and the text box (I'm sure I'm not
stating this accurately or fully). At all events, go to
http://www.hamline.edu/~wnk/notabene/search.html and search *flicker* and
you will see many, many posts, including some about the most recent
version). NB tech support was...well...let's just say, perfunctory. If they
ever solve the screen issues, NBWin could be a good alternative.
