I agree. Making Wine presentations at local LUGs can only be a good 
thing. It can dispel some myths and it might even help Wine recruit new 
developpers :-)

CodeWeavers has actually done a few presentations on "CrossOver and 
Wine" at local LUGs. I did one recently at the Linux User Group Of Davis 
(LUGOD, a pretty nice LUG) quite recently. You can find the presentation 
online at the following URL.

Feel free to check it out and use it as inspiration if you want to make 
a presentation (credit to CodeWeavers appreciated if you use significant 
portions of it <g>).
