Naturally.  :-)  The reason is simple.  This christmas brought "Myst,
the collection" to me.  ( http://www.gameseek.co.uk/pd/PCab73x9g4fya/
)  My wife and I had great fun playing the first iteration of Myst.
So now we want to play the whole thing together.  And if I get it
running on my laptop we can play it while sitting in the favourite
sofa rather than down in the home-office where the desktop machines
are.
I realise that there are probably ways to get the game running under
Ubuntu, like Qemu or Wine.  But I suspect that will take more time for
me to figure out than biting the bullet and (temporarily) run windows
again.

I know!  But thanks a lot.  That reminder is so important it bears repeating.
