If the fish had been a real "friend" he would have downloaded and installed something like ProScrabble v1.0 to run on the Linux installation.

i replaced the hd on a friends second hand pc because he had no xp disc, i put mandriva on and it ran briliantly but his wife could only play her scrabble game with wine so in the end he bought an official copy of xp to use instead

I think he'd have been cheaper to buy her a new Linux version of the game.

They don't play games, so it's not a worry. Only usage is word processing, email, and Internet surfing, with the odd bit of voice chat. Not a game in the house.
