Well, a dude i worked with who now resides at "Choice Connections" who I call the "Mac Daddy Pimpst0re" said that you could run Virtual PC, and have best of all lands (windows, xwindows, osx) without a performance hit..
Now, at the time we only had OS 9 on our iBooks, so i'm curious to see if this is true? carn do it Andrew.. goin.. Cause if it is, by god i'll rape my bank account for one... mainly for the Photoshop performance / graphic tools i can use.. and it will then transform me into this ultra hip cool dude, who drives a VW Bug around while listening to Eurotrash techno from the likes of DJ Sash (avalante..*rolls eyes*).. oh and i'll get thick framed glasses and dress in skivvies and that black coffee club look.......you know what i'm yabbadoing about..
