I would, except I *don't* *own* MS Office; the only application they support that's of any use to me is IE -- and I'm not sure that it's worth shelling out >$50 right now (there are libraries and campuses in my area that I'm regularly visiting anyways). (In any event, I hope to get a new mobo for the computer that died in the next month or so, so spending money on crossover now depletes my expense fund for that.) If I can get wine or plex86 working, it will suit my purposes fine and give me another tool with which to work; if not, I'll be okay until I can dual-boot again. Thanks, everybody, for the suggestions and advice! -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
