This example isn't what I mostly rely on Wine for. mIRC and this very
app, Forte Agent, are what I use Wine primarily to support under
Linux, but you see in this screenshot that a native X app, Audacious,
is what I'm using to listen to the song, not using Wine for Winamp,
but only for something without a native replacement. While it's true
that GUI IRC and NNTP clients exist for Unix-like, I consider them
inferior to running mIRC and Agent under Wine.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
