[X4U] Virtual PC question

[mac2]

Thank you for your feedback stroller.

It was/is my understanding that the first intel based laptops to be released 
would be iBooks, not powerbooks.  Have I understood this incorrectly???

For me at this point, there are benefits to either type of system 
(PowerPC/Intel) I get.  Why I understand that Solaris X86 will obviously run 
slower on PowerPC, the benefit for me is that I can keep classic running a 
little longer.

I am still waiting for Adobe to release FrameMaker for OS X.
