-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Windows may use more RAM than Linux, but Linux + Wine + App uses more than Windows + App (been there, tested it, got the benchmarks, thought about selling the T-Shirt).
Given your acceptance of what Wine call themselves do you want to buy my B15000EPYEB (Best 15,000 euro product you'll every buy), it's only 15,000 Euros :)?(Note: The last part is a joke, for those amongst you in a you say it we sue you culture this isn't a legally binding offer :) :) ) > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected]> Subject: Re: [hlds] > Voice causes high ping> Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 22:20:39 +0100> > Having rocks > in your head would help.
