quote:
"He finally succeeded in running the CPRS client on Linux with only a
few problems. Previous releases of WINE could not run the client at
all, but last fall things started to improve when William Wong, a
colleague from Malaysia's PCDOM organization, was able to launch CPRS
for the first time using WINE. According to Joseph Dal Molin:
'Something changed under the covers of WINE that made it possible. A
few releases ago, this did not work. Now it does.'

scary statistic:
" As many as 98,000 people die each year as a result of preventable
medical errors"
