[lug] IP: FCC forces Ham radio operators to use Windows (fwd from: dave at farber.net)

[Todd Ruskell]

One of the things that has always bugged me about using linux is that so
many sites require plug-ins that aren't available for linux.

Just today someone pointed me to
http://www.codeweavers.com/home/

I'm about to download their CrossOver Plugin and give it a try.  If it
works, I'll gladly fork over the $25 for some considerable added value to
my browsing experience, as well as a bit of 2nd had support for wine.
