I don't know which Mac that was, that Shawn was referring to, 
although I remember the existence of it. However, I do remember, all 
too well, the existence of those "Orange" PC boards that jacked into 
the CPU [a daughterboard, maybe?] and gave the user a 286 or 386 to 
use, inside the Mac. VPC is cheaper and better.

As well, by virtue of using VPC on a Mac, we can have a 95, 98, 
Win2k, and XP system ready to go,on one box, something that, as far 
as I know,can't be done with a PC, UNLESS it's running VPC for 
Windows. Not that I'd want to, but having 98, and Win2k, or XP,is 
actually useful. I tossed 98, but now run, albeit very infrequently, 
Win2kPro and XP, side-by-side with OSX jaguar.

And yes, the previous Mac machine, dog or not, was a colossal failure 
as far as buyers were concerned. VPC, itself, has improved 
tremendously since VPC 4 [and previous releases].
