According to Bill Reburn: >Orange made a cometitive product, often one processor step ahead of what >Apple was using (Intel and Cyrix chips) > >And you're right, it IS (ok, was) better than VPC. Was, is right. I had a friend over last week, who has been a Macromedia/Photoshop/design guy on the PC/Wintel platform, for years, and I said, "Hey, Joe, watch this." And I booted, from a cold start, Win XP, in VPC, and it just opened, so fast [from the 'saved state' it had been in for a month], and occupied my entire 22" external monitor. Operational in no time. He flipped. He happened to have his Sony laptop, and booted Win 2k on it, and it was twice as long, easily, before he was operational. ~flipper
