Re: [orca-list] Flash freezes orca

For the time being, you may just want to run Windows through a virtual 
machine. Then when you need to do school work, you can boot up the VM, 
do what needs to be done, and then shut it down. There should be an 
option to share files between the Windows guest and the Linux Host so 
that your files can be saved both in the VM and on your host system.
