I hope this is the case too - as for many it isn't an excuse - it's a reason. I still run windows at home despite bashing on about linux till im blue in the face. The mrs plays world of warcraft. I convinced her to let me install Linux and get it running with wine. I got it going. The graphics looked weird. I sorted out the weirdness, and all seemed fine. A day or two later she was on a quest that required clicking on a particular object. The object would not respond. Didn't matter how we tried it, it didnt work. No errors, no graphics glitches, nothing. It just didnt respond. We logged out, logged in a few times, everything else worked. Not that bloody quest. In the end she booted up windows on a lappy and it worked first time. So ended my attempt to get the family using Linux. Now I *like* Linux. I want to run Linux. But all the PC's here are shared, and I don't want to go through a restart to dual boot every time I swap pc's with one of the others. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
