Re: [libreoffice-users] eastern front in new version

Hi Tom

No, it's an actual game from Atari, Mark was playing with the words, if 
I am correct, with "Eastern Front - Font" and Doug picked up on this 
asking about a genuine early 1980's game. Check out my email posted a 
short while ago.

Sorry Kracked, you cracked this one wrongly :-D

Ah! Steam, hate it overall as to what it's doing to the gaming world, 
but they own over 75% of the market now. But a good thing is that Steam 
client is now available on Ubuntu (possibly other distros as well), and 
if you own the Windows game, you get a free port-over to linux, so 
Windows games running directly within Linux. But I also use Wine, and I 
have all of my top games running in Ubuntu, with no issues, learnt long 
ago how to get this right. I mainly fly virtual aviation SIM's such as 
FS9, FSX, FlightGear, X-Plane and DCS, and belong to two VAC's (Virtual 
Aviation Clubs) here locally. I've been flying for many years, having 
had a genuine PPL, 30 odd years ago. All of the above now run fine under 
my Ubuntu distro, either natively (FlightGear and X-Plane 9 and 10), or 
through Wine (MS flightsims, DCS). So watch for high end games on Linux, 
it's the next new frontier and there is plenty happening in this scene.

Regards
