    FB>         That's awesome! Welcome back, for sure I'll take a look at it. I

   OpenXP is available for Linux and Windows.   
      
   I know absolutely nothing about Macs, so I haven't a clue how you would     
   get OpenXP to run on a Mac. Sorry for being a bit "dumb" but I would be     
   very interested to hear how you get on with this, thanks.   
      
   Regards,
