Dick, I didn't even put you and the article together. That sounds great on the speed. After reading your article I was unsure if it was worth while but if you say it works nicely, then I'm going for it (just waiting on one speed bump on the powerbook first). I took a look at the openlink license. I see where the price could hinder you. I own ms office so I think I will run virtual PC on the mac and do that way. Thanks for all the info.
