I am trying to get my home computer (now running Suse Linux 9.1 personal) to understand some windows programs i used to have in my computer (they ran fine on win 2K until the OS crashed and died for no appearent reason, and nothing i do makes it come alive again). I found VMWare, but found the price tag well beyond my scope. Then i found SourceForge.net: Bochs, which is a freeware version, doing the same thing, but i do not know if it is any good. Anyone have any hints?

despite all expectations...

the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (a triology in 5 parts) really did deliver. At least, so it felt back in time when i read it. Interesting thought, can it be re-read with the same result? Usually it seems a bad idea to revisit your dreams, and try to re-enact good experiences, as the copy is always partly filled with additional expectations. I read it, i got lost in it, it was important. If i would be dissapointed now, does that make the books lees important, does it degrade my original euphoria? I would like to think not.

Very unusual to have thunderstorms here in the nighttime. Like a quick visit from the big world. And the images of Louisiana are awful.
