Most major current Atari franchises for the PC (all the big ones like UT) are on Linux as well. Second Life is also native. Then there's just playing similar open source games instead until Blizzard gets their act together. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

About 6 months ago there was a MMORPG that banned users that play from Linux/Wine. Some over-aggressive and stupid dweeb at the company thought that these customers were bots. After a few days, the company realized the error of dweeb's ways and restored the accounts. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.
