There is VirtualPC - http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/virtua...

There are others - some inexpensive, some open source. I have a mild itch to test these - the one thing I miss from my Windows laptop is the abilty to play Civ2 - but have not done so yet.

Thanks for the comment Brian.

I tried VirtualPC once on a friend's high-powered laptop, but it was so slow that it was almost unusable. I've tried several open-source emulators such as Wine, Cedega (for games) and Crossover Office for Linux, and they all leave a little to be desired when it comes to ease of use and functionality. I keep hoping that someday emulation will be almost as good as the real thing, but so far it's not quite there.

Oh you wanted something usable. There is just no pleasing some people (grin).

The TWIT podcast guys recently suggested that with windows on the box you could run windows apps from within Mac OSX. Hmmm ....

Shiny new look here - cool.

that would be sweet -- provided there wasn't a huge amount of lag, that is.

as for the new look, i was inspired by your redesign :-)

but i couldn't afford to pay anyone to redo my site, so i picked up a
new wordpress theme and hacked around with it a bit. a change is as
good as a rest, my grandfather used to say
