Hmm, I do have an old copy of Micro$haft Window$ 2K Pro, now I'll see if 
vBox will do the trick for the VM. Of course there is CrossOver. Maybe 
at least the drivers may work and then go with Audacity. I'd rather stay 
native Linux though. I've developed allergies to Micro$haft usage. Can't 
go near wifey's laptop, have to step away from laptop. Eyes swell up
