>>I ordered three Mac G3's this morning<< Awww Man... can I have one? slobber slobber I want one so bad. But I have to be good and pay off my Christmas credit card bill. Aren't the new G3 Macs supposed to be able to emulate W95 faster than Wintel machines can run it?

OT Fido, try www.memman.com for memory. I've been getting 64MB DIMMs for $217. Best price I've seen.

Francis, I am curious about your Mac G3 purchases. YOu say you will be running both MacOS and WinNT at the same time. Is that a proven modus operandi, or are you pioneering it, and are you sure it will work. While I have been working on Macs by default the last few years (I was in a Mac only research group), where I am now, I am surrounded by PCs and would like to share their peripherals and software, but am locked out, because their net manager won't allow their overtaxed WindowNT server to be partitioned just for me, even though they let me pass through it to get to the ISDN line to the main campus. (My new office is located within a wing that houses a bunch of female soft scientists and I am not involved with their program. No criticism of female scientists intended.) ..So, if I get a Mac G3 can I be a WinNT to their server and can I run off-the-shelf PC software as well as Mac software, either sequentially or at the same time. Thanks for any help. Regards, David S. Long on Intel and Iomega
