Adam, Dual and even triple or higher boots are quite common in some areas, mainly for legacy apps. A professor I know uses the IBM boot manager to have a DOS, a Win3.1, a Win95 an OS-2 and a Unix boot choice on his system. Many programs have feet of lead in the Wintel world and were made in one system by some grad student, became useful and widespread in research circles, and the grad never upgraded to another OS. Many capable DOS programs from the 80's are still popular, and blindingly fast, on Pentium IIs , and there are seas on Unix programs in the same boat. World beaters, but stuck in Unix. So the multiple boot is not so bad. The latest partition magic(www.powerquest.com) has the IBM boot manager. For MAC ?? Bill
