Perchance JPR is using SCO OSR6 and you are using WindowsXP?

For the rest of the story the filePro connection is that the laptop I 
won at the Orlando Users conference has been running Ubuntu for over a 
year. In order to watch full episodes on NBC.com, I have to use a 
Windows version of Firefox that I installed under WINE. That gets all 
the plugins working and video is nice and smooth. For normal web 
browsing, it does not work as good as the native Linux version, but for 
multimedia stuff like watching TV shows full screen, its da bomb.

Tonight if I remember I'll see how blog talk radio acts with a native 
linux environment and with a WINE environment.

Five years from now WINE will be so old school anyway. With Quad Core 
Dells at Best Buy this weekend for I believe $749, all the cool kids 
will be running some sort of Hypervisor like vmware or Server 2008, and 
you'll just use the OS that is the best tool for the job at hand, rather 
than committing all the resources of a computer to one OS.

We've got a dual quad core server and it's running Ubuntu 64 bit VMWare 
and it's serving XP pro workstation, 2003 server, freeBSD, and 32bit 
Ubuntu and you can't tell if its live or Memorex(tm).
