Well, my husband moaned & groaned with severe labor pains, but he managed to install System 10.3, Virtual PC with Windows XP, and Wildcatt in about two days. Windows in kinda slow, especially getting started, but not that bad. It doesn't have regular product registration; you have to "activate" it. I couldn't activate it on the Internet because my AOL goes through the Mac, so I had to do it by phone. They give you this very advanced digit span test. You have to read off 45 numbers to a female computer. Then she dictates 45 more numbers and you have to write them down as fast as you can She will repeat them for you, but jeez Louise. I guess if you have a learning disability, you can't own Windows. Wildcatt took a little getting used to. The manual doesn't say much. If you get an error message for not typing in the right field or something, it is in an exotic foreign language other than plain English. I still prefer the RHS for plain registration & parent searches, but Wildcatt does a lot of other fancy things I haven't mastered yet. That person who was looking for Indian names could search for all the hybrids registered by WW Wilson, no sweat. If I have a phone line, I can have AOL, Wildcatt, and a FileMaker Pro for the Mac database all open at the same time, and multitask happily between them.
