I would, except I *don't* *own* MS Office; the only application they
support that's of any use to me is IE -- and I'm not sure that it's
worth shelling out >$50 right now (there are libraries and campuses in
my area that I'm regularly visiting anyways).
(In any event, I hope to get a new mobo for the computer that died in
the next month or so, so spending money on crossover now depletes my
expense fund for that.)
If I can get wine or plex86 working, it will suit my purposes fine and
give me another tool with which to work; if not, I'll be okay until I
can dual-boot again.
Thanks, everybody, for the suggestions and advice!
