OT: Fwd: New Product: Win4Lin Home, and Special Offer

[Roger Oberholtzer]

Those b*st*rds! I waited a few months to upgrade from a 2.4 to a 2.6
kernel on my home computer because I needed to upgrade my Win4Lin to do
so. So, last month or so, I shelled out the $90 for Win4lin 5. They were
probably waiting for me before making the announcement. Still, it does
as advertised. My wife gets to do banking, which is the only reason we
have it. The product is solid and worth considering if you need to run a
few Windows programs.
