Now that the semester is over, I only have 2 reasons to continue running
windows.  The first is for my existing games collection.  The second is to
run Squeak (it works on linux, but leaves out features, and it works on MacOS,
but the missing features require better hardware than my working macs have).
It is handy to keep around.  For testing Windows only things for ideas, etc.
