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.
