Hi John. I am late in reading my mail and have not looked to see if anyone
else as replied, but here goes my experience.
I have both RealPC by Insignia Solutions running win 98 and Virtual PC
running win 98 by Connectix.
Both run MC well except for on problem on RealPC. Icons are upside down on
my machine and any other Mac running RealPC (that I have tested) with MC
shows the same thing.
Virtual PC on the other hand does not have this problem.
Performance is livable, but video does not play well if at all. I hope you
have a fast Mac to run this on as it can get slow with lots of objects on a
card. I run it on a G3/400Mhz with 128 megs of ram and it is pretty good.
Hope this helps some.
