However there is some question as to whether I have a life or not. More to the point: Before I retired in 2001, I was a mechanical design engineer. The industries in which I was employed spoke mostly Autocad with a bit of Pro-E on the side. No others need apply. Guess what? Both programs are Windows only. It's been a while since I checked, but AFAIK neither will run under Wine or Win4Lin. I expect that similar situations exist in other fields as well. However, if this doesn't apply to your situation, then why waste the disk space? -- cmg
