Why so pessimistic?

The last statement I have from  the author is, that he plans to release the
Linux and the OSX version at the same time. Maybe he has problems in finding an
OSX box or he simply is too busy at the moment. Whatever it is, as long as he
doesn't officially say otherwise, I see no reason to be so pessimistic.

Although I don't consider Wine a solution, your statement can easily be
misinterpreted by other people. It's not like every Wine-application will eat
40MB or more... or just start up a Windows machine and start Notepad and see how
much memory is in use already.. probably more than 40MB.

Sargon (who still hopes for Ruffian@Linux and doesn't consider anything
involving 'Wine' as a solution (pun intended))
