MS just purchased Connectix, makers of VPC, so I wouldn't be sinking any
cash into it until they confirm what their plans for MS support in the
future may be.
Doesn't Boche's run on OS X?

I'd stick with the real PC in the basement. The trip down there will
help
prevent the onset of carpal tunnel syndrome, and it'll provide a little
exercise in the process.
As for alternatives, there is an alternative to Virtual PC and it is
only
$30 US. HOWEVER, you do need a Windows CD to be able to install into it
and
it only runs in OS X. VPC is much faster than this application and,
doesn't
cost that much more for the DOS version.
If you're running a 266 I would stay far away from VPC. It's just not
fast
enough except for the most basic of tasks. Even my 400 MHz G3 isn't up
to
running 98 very well.
Eric.
