well, he sees me using it all the time.. when we went to Florida, we took my laptop which has linux on it (SuSE 9.2).. he played the games that I had installed and loved it. Of course he has windows games also so thats his primary OS. I think its just for the games it has installed is why he wants it. I tried to made a AdvanceCD which is basically a linux operating system installed on cd that boots up into MAME..but I cant get it working properly..
