And me, for much the same reasons. But explaining that to a non-techie is
a lost cause. With a great deal of persuasion you might get them to use
Thunderbird.

There are applications that don't run under anything but Windows so I have
it on my machine. But most of the time, and all the time I'm online, I
use Linux. When I get the time I'm going to try WINE (Windows emulator)
and see if the apps I use will run under it.

I'm using Crossover Office (a shell around WINE), some things work well,
others not so well, and some not at all. For example, Lotus 123, TreePad
and TaxAct work fine. I could not load TurboCAD, TaxCut, or MindManager.
The Crossover web site (www.codeweavers.com) is pretty good in rating
applications and has a fairly exhaustive list of what will work, what may
work, and what won't.
