I had not thought about wine or crossover, I will try them and see, I am
sure I will be off to a Sprint airport again, so I will get both of
them installed
and tried.

It still irks me that they will force you to use one browser, to the exclusion
of all others, and in my view the worse one of them all, the one that looks
like a dead cow to a sky full of buzzards (viruses etc) the moment you
start it. So that means if you are using Windows but run Firefox or Opera
to avoid the IE viruses, you are screwed regardless.
