Hi,
Has anyone any idea if there is a version of Spider the same a for
Windows XP for a Mac 10?
I don't need it to score high, I need it to pass the time while I'm on

Thanks

Hi Dalia

I had a friend that wanted that as well. What we ended up doing is copying the
exe from windows to ubuntu and running it under wine. It's in
c:/windows/system32/spider.exe

Of course, this will no longer be permissable with Vista.
The Vista EULA prohibits running the software in a virtual machine or
emulator.
How do ya' like them apples?
(Yeah...you will no longer be allowed to run Internet Exploiter under wine
to see how it mangles your web pages, even...)

Actually, for I know, this may be true in XP.
I haven't used any MS or Windows software in so long...I don't really care.
Sucks for those that either must or wish to use such things, though.

Bill Gates says,"You want Spider Solitiare? Fork over the big-bucks for
Windows,
and more dough for anti-virus and more dough for bla, blah, blah, blah...."

I am so glad I use Linux! (Smug, aren't I?)

I'm not sure what Spider Solitaire is, but, if you search for
"solitaire" in Synaptic,
you may just find something analogous...or better.
