Penguinisto: About Virtual PC: I don't know for you, but my sad little experience with that emulator tells me not to ever think about trying to run a CPU intensive app like Poser 4 or 5; I just wanted to throw the 'puter out the window (no pun intended) after installing and trying to run Ubisoft Scrabble(what are those jackets with very long, very very long sleves for ? Not easy to type with these on: in fact, I'm typing with my nose...). And it's not because I run a low end mac (mine's an eMac, 700 mHz, about 400 Mb ram, 40 Gb rom, etc.), though it could maybe take another 512 Mb of ram easily . As for the boot floppy, again, you'd probably need to get the Mac OS running with that kind of clone machine (8.0-8.5, maybe even 9.0-9.1 ?) in a rebootable CD form. Given you have the correct system CD and an internal CD-rom drive working properly (not mentioning the 'puter running properly), all you have to do is to hold the key C while rebooting with the system CD in. I hope this helps (if you have the correct configuration, of course) Purplehayes
