I was thinking maybe Tuesday nights. That should be easy to remember with most 
of the meetings being on Tuesday's. We can try it weekly for a while and see 
how it goes. I will set up a channel in the next couple of days and give you 
the details.

Have you tried the latest WineX? I downloaded the cvs yesterday. The install 
was much easier than the previous ones I have tried, it actually compiled 
this time! Its got a good install script, though it bombed out on mine when 
it got to installing the registry. I read that you could do it by hand but I 
haven't tried yet. A lot of games are supported now. Midtown Madness is 
listed on the website, but with a working status of one, whatever that means.

Regards,
Jamie
