Gene:

	You're more liberal than I am. I don't even allow MicroSquat products 
in my home! OS9 (6x09 & 68000) and Linux only! The only time I deal with 
Winders is at work. The PC tech set up a box _under_ my desk with an 
icon to run our client application. I click the icon, configure my 
displays and get out! At my previous job, I was able to run the client 
software under Wine. (And my boss complained it ran faster under Wine 
than it did natively on his faster box.) I've been running Slackware 
(since 3.4) at work and home for more than 10 years.

So I wouldn't know either.
