   Hah, I started using an original 386-40 from AMD.  I added the 387 math   
   co-processor specifically because xlock's screen blankers ran slow...and it   
   was worth it!   
      
   I remember the first WINE release in 1994 as well..it ran calc.exe.  That was   
   about it.  Wine has come a long way as well.   
      
   The AHK Gang! Live on Riot.im.   When we feel like it.
