Yeah, I saw that.  I'm afraid I can't help, but you've got to admit that
the "average" home user doesn't need a scanner.  There are all sorts of
things for which you really _do_ have to have Windows, but not many of them
are really needed by the average user.

Yes, I see a number of problems like that.  I play bridge and run BridgeBase
under wine.  Works fine, but the damn thing never actually executes the
per-window configurations I've created.  I have to open them up, and
re-save them.
