The real question is will MacOS 10 run OP under Wine?  ;D

Dunno.
It runs EAW. Actually, I used CrossOver to avoid screwing around with WINE myself.
Have yet to try anything but single player.

This really interests me, could you elaborate on this?  I was under the impression that WINE wasn't that reliable, so I haven't really considered it.  How well does EAW run?  Have you tried other versions of SFC?  I'm also curious if I could make the remote access for work (PC based) work on y MacBook Pro.

I'd recommend KDE for that. (krdc)

http://mac.kde.org/

But I'm not sure that krdc is in the included applications. (I'd go with 3.5.6)

BUT there is this (probably the best way to go):

http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/remote-desktop/default.mspx

Horrifically designed and unnavigable website - the actual download link for the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2 (ENG) is:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/c/0/6c01c76e-fef9-4a59-9fe1-84b1a307ad26/RDC200_ALL.dmg

And there is also this:

It looks like these are remote desktop applications, unless I misunderstand what I'm looking at.  I have remote, web based apps for work that I can access- outlook, excel, word, etc.  I use an RSA secure ID token to log into work servers to use them.  I don't actually need t get to y work desktop, just the apps and the server files.

I think that the app that I DL from work to install on my Dell is a .ica file.

Ah, you want the citrix client for mac...

http://www.citrix.com/English/SS/downloads/details.asp?downloadID=3247&productID=-1

Though your citrix server at work may not be configured to allow connections from outside the lan.

OMG Bonk, that worked and it was so freaking simple!!  For almost two and a half years I have listened to my IT guys tell me that there is no way for me, a mac user to log into remote apps unless Im on windows, but with one link you gave me a quick, simple solution that opens everything!  It looks like it even would have worked on my older iBook!  I don't know how you knew about this, but you just made my day!  Thank you so much bro!! 

I hope I can someday return the favor.

You're most welcome Clark. Think nothing of it. I know Citrix from various work environments, but to be honest, I just Googled "citrix client for mac" for you, and a click or two later -  there I was! ;)

The funny part is your IT guys telling you it had to be on windows... that is part of the whole point of Citrix - centrally administered application deployment independent of the client OS.

I wouldn't bother telling your IT guys, it would probably upset them, just keep sucking up to them as usual, but you can chuckle to yourself. ;) Unless of course the opportunity presents itself to tell them about it in a non-threatening way that makes it sound like their idea. ;) You know IT guys. Hehe.

I once had fun running the Citrix ICA client from a linux boot disk on a work computer so I could still use all the apps needed for work, but use the web browserr of my choice (and proxy) and play all my favorite linux games. ;)
