Extinguisher?
 We don't need no steeeenkin' extinguisher!

 Frankly, I'm surprised anyone was able to decipher that mess.

 Gotta love WebMail!

It's just a name guys - W.I.N.E. stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, L.A.M.E. used to mean Lame is not An MP3 Encoder. Obviously, LAME has always been an MP3 encoder and WINE an emulator of sorts - it's not worth arguing about, right :-) It's just good old classic GNU naming. (I think anyway - if I'm wrong feel free to light me on fire with the flames that often fly around here... I have an extinguisher handy) ----- Original Message ----- From: "tonym" <tonym at compusource.net> To: "CoCoList for Color Computer Enthusiasts" <coco at maltedmedia.com> Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2010 3:17 PM Subject: Re: [Coco] Software offer and Drive Pak solution Manny, what MOST impressed me...

"Wine's not that kind of emulator" Meaning, it's ANOTHER kind, meaning it's still an emulator. It's not a full emulation, as in CPU and hardware emulation, or virtual machine, but it's an API-level emulation. If it was not, they would've put right on that page, that it was NOT an emulator. Instead, they say "Wine's not that kind of emulat or" > -- Coco mailing list Coco at maltedmedia.com http://five.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/coco Hey! Note the wink.
