[App_rpt-users] Mac Mini G4

[Shane Morris]

Sorry about the stuff up with the forwarded message...

Yeah, I never used Virtual PC, by that time I had gone over to Linux on the
PC side of things, and when I got an Intel 2006 model Macbook, it rendered
the point moot. I used Parallels, then VMWare on the Macbook. But as I
said, I do remember a friend using Virtual PC to run Windows 98 on a G3
iMac - terribly slow if I remember correctly, but it did run.

Of course, as with any virtualisation, you'll want to max out your RAM
first, just in case. VMs love RAM for breakfast.
