It's 1700 somewhere! <bseg>
As for WINE, I rarely use it because I sort of forget about it. Think
the last time I used it was from DNS Benchmarks (GRC.com) and according
to my notes that was around a year ago. I mostly use 'random' Windows
utilities for repairing thumbdrives -- which has a bit of a problem
because if the host system (Ubuntu in my case) doesn't detect or
properly detect it won't pass through to the VM.
