He loves it. He has it on Winders and likes playing it,too. But mom
thinks he should be /learning/ things more than he should be playing.

I don't have any shortage of games that he likes. I have a shortage of
games that mom likes for him to play. If he had his way he'd stay in
linux and play all of the defender clones, bugsquish, tuxracer, tuxkart
and all of the others. Mom wants him to learn things, like reading and
math.

*sigh* I suppose that's what moms are for: to make sure you can read the
setup and help screens on new games, and to figure out scoring.

I just hope finding something like WineX and making it work will have
him running the WinDoze games or else mommy will slit my throat. She's
already talking about buying him a Mac next Christmas since she's not
satisfied with the games situation on linux and she's disgusted with the
crashing problems he has on Win*DOH*s.
