IANAWD either but you could call me a groupie (I lurk and hangout).  I
have been very busy with my personal life until recently (I have time
to spare again).  It's possible I was was just reliving the whole
Transgaming/Cedega thing in my mind thinking that CX and CX games
could become as different as CX and Cedega but Codeweavers has never
used dlls or other closed binary bits like they did so perhaps the
concern is completely unfounded.  It wouldn't be the first time that I
spoke so quickly I needed a crowbar to remove my foot from my mouth.
