Honestly, just want it to work.  If that is the result, then I'll buy it.
Not worried about speed, etc.  I'll be using VPC formally on my 1 GHz TiBook
which I don't have yet.  Laptop scenario.

I won't have Classic running at all.  I don't like it.  Don't need it.  I

As I understand it, it's a windows emulation kind of thing, hence the VPC
thing.  I should investigate if there is a client for Sabre, but I doubt it.
