Re: Running RPG on Windows.

["Misty Thornton" <misty.thornton7@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the generous input. Timeshare seems to be a very good option. I
am thinking of getting a basic developer account with somebody like
http://www.virtual400.com and see if that fulfills my needs. RPG could go a
long way if somebody started open sourcing some RPG tools atleast, my
0.02$on it...:). Any more suggestions are most welcome. This is a
totally
personal venture trying to keep my very limited RPG skills alive so I will
definitely love 'cheap' options...:).

Kind regards,
Misty.
