Isn't it funny how people can write your name, Damian?
Demian... Looks very much like Debian... :)

Oops... I didn't read this ng to get more homework... I'll try to find

But I still think that, if the Wine authors say their program is not
an emulator, we shouldn't call it an emulator... Might be a good idea
to figure out how we should call it then? :)
