Hey everybody,

I recently downloaded wine on mac (according to this very helpful tutorial: https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/#part-1:-install-homebrew) and the trial version of CT for zettelkasten purposes. I could install it just fine, but I get a weird error when I tried launching CT:

XXX-MBP:ConnectedText XXXr$ wine ConnText.exe
0096:err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out
0096:err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {00000320-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} not registered

00a5:fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x12df028,0x00000000), stub!

I am really not that tech-savvy and can not really make any sense of that. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Also, a bit more generally: what are your thoughts on using digital zettelkästen? For one, it is not entirely clear to me whether ConnectedText will be developed in the next few years. But equally, I feel like I should be cautious about all programs when we are talking about a timespan of 20-30 years.

Thanks for helping out.
