Hi:

VirtualPC is too expensive for something that I use VERY seldom, i.e. 
Windows.  When I was using OS9 I used Blue Label Emulator from Lismore 
Systems (www.lismoresystems.com).  I found that it ran quite well, a 
little slower than on a native PC. But if you can accept that it ran 
everything that I threw at it.  I do not know if you can still get Blue 
Label Emulator as they now sell GuestPC for OS X, and I just bought it.  
It runs DOS thru XP and running 98 on my iBook 600 with only 256mb it 
runs as fast as the 266mhz computer that the OS originally ran on.  
Price 69.00/upgrade from Blue Label=35.00.  Excellent value, and I would 
recommend it, but I am not a speed demon.  Lismore did their homework on 
this one!
