You have given me much to research, think about, and purchase some new |

hardware for.... |

I successfully set up AutoCad 2000 on (Gentoo) wine in 2004. It still runs |
| 16 |
well with the upgrades to wine, over the years.... However, it was |
| 17 |
a TIME SINK and I do not even feel like I know wine all that well.... |
| 18 |
I do not have the time to burn, as you have correctly articulated. |

Do you, or anyone else have a a wiki or reading materials so |
| 26 |
I can read up more on this approach, as opposed to hacking |
| 27 |
until I think it's ready? |

I've mostly avoided windows over the |
| 30 |
years. My "professional retirement investment advisers <big name> |
| 31 |
are really stupid and manipulative. My stock picks out perform |
| 32 |
theirs hands down. So I'm going with etrade, TD_Ameritrade |
| 33 |
or somebody like that. Any suggestions are most welcome, |
| 34 |
even if private. |
