Does anyone...

...have the urge to rush out and buy a Mac now? Heh I have been toying with the idea since before I got my iPod but now I really want one, bad! I'm not gonna be a "switch"er, mainly cause of games and stuff, but I would love to have one.

I have been thinking of getting an ibook or a powerbook. I just use way to many windows apps to just switch. Most of which are not for a MAC

I'm working in my gap year and hope to get a Powerbook at some point. 15" one i recon. Not sure whether to wait about a year in case we get the Powerbook G5 by then!

Pentium PC Emulation
Virtual PC works by emulating a Pentium-based Windows machine, right on your Mac. When you launch Virtual PC, the Windows OS appears inside a window on your Mac desktop. You can switch back and forth between your Mac OS and Windows as easily as you go between any two windows on your Mac desktop. Using Virtual PC, you can copy and paste text and graphics between Mac and Windows, and drag files and folders from one OS to the other.

I've been toying with the idea of getting an iBook for a while. Still have to pay off my bills first. Man it's taking way too long.

Cheers MP, but i really wanted to know if it actually works like it says it does, from anyone that actually uses VirtualPC on their Mac.

Anyone here using VirtualPC?
