I a going to buy a new mac soon and have found the perfect solution!
OrangePC sells PC compatability cards that fit into PCI and NuBus slots.
They are actually just a Pentium chip (or Intel or whatever they are) on a
card. This allows Mac users to use both a PC and a Mac SIMULTANEOUSLY! I've
used them before and they are fast! They're not like SoftWindows/Virtual
PC, because it is hardware, not software! Another cool thing is that you
hit a hot key to swap environments. You can Use Windows, dos, whatever. It
also allows the dos environment to use Mac Periferals such as modem or
cd-rom drive. It also starts up FASTER than a PC! So now we can have to
very good MacOS, but the software for Windows and DOS! (go to
