GM, I'm out for the night...I'll save the color dye story for tomorrow. The fellow sailor may not be aware that one can run both OS' on a Mac. This used to be very cumbersome with the 'SoftWindows' products, but the new 'Virtual PC' product from Connectix is far superior. SoftWindows tried to translate the code from Win apps into comparable Mac code. This translation was very cumbersome because the software's job was to emulate Windows as if it could run on MacOS -- the I/O process was slowed due to the traslation process. Virual PC is different in that it emulates Pentium hardware architecture. Now, you are really running Win95 on it because the Connectix software takes over and emulates the 80x86 hardware. The I/O processes are (reportedly) as fast as running native on a Pentium -- haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like a promising way to have the best of both worlds. -MrB
