[ Humbug *General* list - semi-serious discussions about Humbug and  ]
[ Unix-related topics.  Please observe the list's charter.           ]
[ Worthwhile understanding: http://www.humbug.org.au/netiquette.html ]

I am totally in agreement with Sandra here. She just cited the exact
reason I still have Windows. What we really need is a port of DirectX to
unix. Then I would wipe my windows installation clean and get a real
operating system.
