until somebody ports starcraft/warcraft2BNE/diablo1&2 to linux (and don't 
bother mentioning WINE because they play worse in that than in the ugly and 
featureless OS they were written for) I'll keep windows installed on my 
computer. Don't worry, I haven't added to anybody's retirement fund. And if 
they want to prosecute and take away my tv and computer (because that's all 
i own that's worth more than $20) then I"m sure one of the current affairs 
shows would love to hear my story ;-)
