Nice idea, but I think the bandwidth probs would be problematic. We're
better off putting out kiosks or some such, I'd think :). Maybe if we just
pitch in and get Hawke's Linux-gamer's paradise together. Do that well
with all Linux and we'd be getting people's attention :).

By the time he could implement it Star Office source should've been
released and WordPerfect will have full xml support on Linux.
