No doubt about that here.

If you can afford the power bill that is.  I'd want to play with the same idea 
except see how little supplied power I can get away with while keeping the 
power of the system maximized.  :-)

Yeah Win *needs* a shell.  Beats me what people see in that.

As long as what is needed, say binkd, can be built then that is really all wine 
needs to do.  So if it is possible to run a gcc port via wine and build 
exectutables for the Win98 target, and they actually work in the Win98 
enviroment afterwards, then that would be good enough.  If that is indeed 
doable then the rest is of no consequence.

Life is good,
Maurice
