VB you can always run Virtual PC, it turns a Macintosh into an IBM and 
then you can run your IBM junk on it.

I grew up on a PC and i used to call the Apple a "Crapintosh", i meet a 
new girl (my new Wife) and she had an Apple and i realized after all of 
these years the Apple is far superior and easier than any IBM i had 
ever worked on.

I will never go back to an IBM!
