Spend the money you saved using gnubg instead of Snowie, buy a copy of
vmware and you can run Windows 95/98/2K (don't know about XP) from
within Linux. And that lovely blue screen just means you close the
window and restart vmware, everything else keeps going. Now if only
vmware 3 would run under FreeBSD :-(
