You can do it, Aussie. Bite his freaking head off.

    Frustratingly I have just a few applications that are Windows-only and don't work under WINE. I've filed bug reports but haven't had the time to learn how to debug it myself, so am somewhat stuck dual-booting on one device for the near future (everything else is now Linux).
