And just think, with two monitors, you could dedicate one to each system <g>.
I wrote to Barry offlist -- I ran SoftWindows on a 132 PowerPC -- it was
ok, but nothing to write home about. But that was 2 years ago. And I think
Virtual PC has the upper hand today.
Robert -- by moving to a G3 this way, you got to keep your scsi hard
drives, right? Did you keep your DIMMs or did you have to get new RAM?

Yes! Another reason for the switch -- or upgrade.
Also -- thanks to Michael et al -- I am now clear about Rhapsody strategy
and amazed (no, sad) that reporters /still/ write doom-and-gloom without
reading the press release. The mainstream stories all said "rhapsody is
dead" ... and like an idiot, I believed them. I started my Mac site in
January 1996 because the mainstream press reporting made me sick .... I
guess I don't learn either (or am ever the optimist).
