Don't drink more than 3 litres in one evening and break your laptop with you PhD on it!! (Sorry, Mike!!!) A friend of mine runs Office '97 under the latest stable version - it seems to be quite solid. Most apps I used to occasionally use under Wine, I now use native versions... sorry! Andi p.s. Sorry about the pseudo-indent-reply Notes is pretty useless!! ------------------------------------- does anybody have any advice on wine ? is it stable enough for 24/7 use ? I am considering using a linux box to render in lightwave under wine - does wine affect the fpu performace ?
