If you let anyone talk you into using Windows emulation in your environment, just make damn sure you test it for yourself before you mention this to your teacher. I can almost guarantee you that the results would have him switch back to Wintendo in no time. The biggest problem you face, though, is that your teacher has a Wintendo-centric curriculum. Until he or she decides that an alternative curriculum is acceptable, you're up shit creek. :-( If your teacher is prepared to go far out, there's always tcl/tk, which I've always thought of as the Visual Basic of X. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
