[P1] Which PC based laptop is comparable to the iBook ??

[Nan Karahoca]

I disagree.  I just discovered that Turbotax Business (S-Corp 
version) will NOT RUN on virtual PC at all.  So I was forced to get a 
PC to complete my corporation taxes.

I chose a Dell Latitude 366 Mhz.  It's faster than our  600 Mhz Mac 
running Virtual PC and will do what I need it to do.  It has a 6 GB 
hard drive and is running Windows 98.  You can get them for around 
$375-$450 on eBay.  I bought my locally at Computer Warehouse who has 
lots of them left.  They are on the web too.  Just make sure they 
test the CD-Drive and battery before they ship it out to you.
