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
think you lost me here.

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.
