Downsouth, those products are not yet available. However, there is a cool new version out of Tetris for Linux! The only problem is, you need to do a few things on a command line before you can get it to run right, let me walk you though it....

Same place you buy Windows 2000 ... Why you'll see "Quicken for Linux" ... Message 7955623 I've never tried it but there are emulators for Windows. They can run any worse than real Windows. Linux is the fastest growing OS in the universe. Applications are being ported as we "speak". Even Microsoft raves about Linux ... Message 7952818 Linux ... "Powerful and easy to use." -- Microsoft.

Well, you can get them from Linux's grand grand son, and when Linux's grand grand son is born, it is 50 years down the road. These Linux promoters are either too naive or have a brain damage !!!!! Linux is a toy , but not a real OS for day to dy operation.

I need the following software for Linux: Quicken, TurboTax, OutLook, Excel, Word, Personal Oracle, AutoCAD, PowerPoint, ... Availability of specific programs doesn't matter to Linux apostles. You see, there are probably similiar ones available, or, since it's Open Source you're free to write your own to share with everyone else! I use both Linux and Windows 98 and I like them both for different reasons and purposes.
