I remember the first time I saw VPC. It was during a computer fair here at my university just before the G3 was unveiled. The local Apple rep had an 8600, I think it was, with a G3 upgrade card in it (I don't precisely recall the configuration, but it seems to me that it wasn't an honest-to-God G3). I watched one of the demo staff install Windows95 on this machine and then play Quake. Very cool. Still, I have to wonder about VPC's robustness in an office environment filled with large database applications. Having a university computer lab filled with VPC'd G3's is one thing, since most of those folks will only be doing word processing or running Mathematica at most. Mission-critical business apps is another story altogether. shrug Mark
