Ironically, I must have been banging my head against Wine (and parallel port 
dongle access) about the time you were pushing VMWare, which I'd never heard

Currently using Wine setup with wt2, but VMWare seems more likely to be 
useable for the 3D modelling packages we use. Not tried qemu yet, tho'
