Mac owners may be interested in a program which will (I don't know if you can actually get it yet) allow the Mac (with Intelprocessors) run OS-X, XP, Linux, and maybe some other os's all simultaneously, and cut and paste between them. Program is called Parallel's Workstation. More info from Robert X. Cringely in today's (April 8) NY Times, and from TechWorld at <http://www.techworld.com/opsys/news/index.cfm?newsID=5712> I didn't see anything that says how fast or slow you run with this. Well, I don't have a Mac, and probably never will, but I know some readers here do, so I figured I'd pass this on. --dm -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Very Interesting software. Well, the more emulators/virtualizers there are on market - the better. I have used: VMware Workstation, VirtualPC, Qemu, Bochs. and perhaps will try that one. I see, that the new version - Parallels Worksation 2.1 - fully supports SUSE Linux 10.0 x86 - both as host & guest OS, as well as many others OSes. Very good. Also, I would like to see it supporting Mac OS X (Intel) - as a guest OS. (on Host Windows & Linux systems) Sad point - (besides being proprietary software) is that it uses proprietary Virtual Hard Disk format. I would like to see some more VHDD formats available. VMware HDD format is now opened, (I heard) + raw HDD images support will be a very good addition. The price is very cheap - just 50 $. Very good. But is that for download or boxed version + airmail?
