Super-buggy Console app

Anyone else experiencing trouble with the Console app? I'll get this out of the way first: I'm running Safari 7.0.4 on OSX 10.9.3. What trouble exactly? It crashes several times per session, and restarts automatically. It is cordial about it though, and apologizes. There is only so many apologies one can take, without beginning to doubt genuine remorse.

Try using Chrome instead of Safari. You can also get a VM to practice on using virtualbox.

Thanks for replying, sir. I've got VirtualBox installed on my machine and I could run any Linux distro with ease, but in order to follow in the lessons, you really do need to launch the Treehouse console. (At least a newb like me does, anyway).

Lately, whenever the Treehouse console crashes, I select "open new window" from the drop-down, and I'm back to normal. The only problem with that? If the instructor has you running a series of complex commands, and all of a sudden the console app crashes, you have to pause the video and retrace your steps to get to where he is in the video. That's actually a good thing `cause it facilitates learning.

Whatever, onward and upward. :)
