WINE... for those of you who absolutely need to run
Windows apps but DO NOT want to install well windows... try wine.

latest version even managed to get my favorite novel writing program to work on my macbook....

Got the latest build and under WINE, not WINE HELPER, just WINE... Liquid Story Binder behaves like it does on my XP lappie...

Ok I have not tried the print option (don't want to, have XP will travel), but the point is, yes it can be done.

That is my all time favorite writing piece of software, and lord knows I have tried more than just one. And for the novel writer in me, it just works. It is nimble and it travels in a USB, or for god sakes, I could even install it on an IPOD...

Anyhow, just wanted to let you guys know... if you absolutely need or want to run a win app and don't want to install the OS... I understand... and there you have it.

Ah pure geekiness in me tonight.
