Cool! Now I wonder if I can get my old Master of Magic game working
under there.............
That's all I really want, is my MoM! MoO2 would be nice, too.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you had to have Windows... you most
definitly don't! I generally run Wine without Windows... it works
better by itself than it does with Win98SE, IMHO.

No, not really. Wine doesn't run Access. Codeweavers CrossoverOffice,
when last I looked, said access sorta worked, but not well. Access is
just too complex for Wine to easily run it right now.
