The dedicated databases (mapping, phone & address listings, etc) IS a
speed bump. Obviously, if we can not convince the manufacturers to port
their front end programs, we will have to write filters to read the data
in a Unix environment.
Software is still a hassle. But be of good cheer.I can definitely
envision a time when Linux is the dominant OS and folks will be trying
to port stuff over to Win 1901 and scrambling for hardware drivers :)
My understanding is that WABI ($) is a more competent emulator for
WIndows 3.1 apps. What I am still searching for (and not yet finding) is
a Win9x emulator.
For the present, I am keeping my machine dual boot but I realize this is
not an option for everyone.

The Christian message is not an exhortation -- "try hard to
be good." Good advice, but there is no saving gospel in that.
