The conclusion drawn is that if you have the desk space, then BUY A REAL MAC! The emulator takes over the PC, so you can't get any other work done (you can't run it in a window or in the background), it *may* require the ROM from a real MAC!? and it only emulates a circa 1987, monochrome MAC! That doesn't seem like a very good deal when you consider the price of a new Mac (classic) and the used Macs that are available.... Just my own opinion. But I wouldn't get one! * * * * * * * ======================= Meir Green * * * * * * * * ======================= mig@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu * * * * * * * ======================= N2JPG
