Re: Thoughts on ditching my PC



If you already have a PC, I'd keep it and use that (either with keyboard/display/mouse attached or through VNC) rather than VirtualPC. But if you really, really, REALLY want to get rid of the PC, I suppose VirtualPC is the way to go. Besides, my accounting app is Windows-only and I don't know of any package that'll do the trick on MacOS, for the Dutch tax system, that isn't a total GUI horror show.

Another option (only applies if you're a geek) is to install Linux on the PC (complete with Apache and such, so you have a local test server) and use VMWare[1] to run (several instances/versions of) Windows.

But again, unless you have a very compelling reason to ditch the PC (just 'because Windows sucks' wouldn't be enough for me) I'd keep the setup as it is right now.

Hth,

Max
