Hi Bill,
Sounds like you've got a couple of options to choose from
1) 8pm bed time
2) remove Tux
3) install Tux for windows
4) make their box dual-boot and you use it to access your own remotely
5) Configure an X server on the Windows box and access your box remotely
(look at cygwin maybe)
6) Do same as above but use VNC instead (cross-platform PC Anywhere clone)
