It's too bad you can't count on an internet Connection. WoW and City of Heroes/Villains are two of the most impressive looking (and fast) games under Wine, IMHO. Heck, even just the login screen for WoW might be a nice show - with the dracolich constantly landing/taking off while it's snowing.
I wouldn't recommend Counter-Strike: Source. It needs to be forced to DirectX8 mode to achieve a usable speed, and in that mode it looks pretty poor up next to what people are used seeing on the average Windows machine. Though boring to some, I think you made a good choice including DreamWeaver - as the native apps just haven't caught up, yet. -J Seth Shelnutt wrote: > Dan, > > As far as games go, off the top of my head there is WoW, and > Guildwars.
