Hello again, In a pm a friend wrote this: Emulators usually suck because they run at a fraction of the speed of the real thing and when a weird interrupt call is initiated they choke... I have also heard some emulators want money to give you ability to use some software. If I had to choose between windoze and putting up with wine etc.... I choose windoze because that is less time I spend messing with trying to make something work I could be doing something useful. If I were poor I could save about $150 or less going the linux/wine thing but having to deal with compatibity every time you want to use a new piece of softare will quickly undo any savings that you could just get a part time job to buy windoze with. Interesting view? Should i even bother getting Linux since i already have Windows? Take care, Al And, good luck with your Euphoria programming! My bumper sticker: "I brake for LED's"
