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.

You've been to winehq.org, right?  :-)

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.
