What type of Mac do you have? I hope that VPC isn't too processor-intensive or anything,
because I'm running on an older PowerBase 240.

Thanks a lot for the help, though! I hope to install VPC either today or tomorrow.

(...) Unfortunately VPC is rather processor-intensive. I have a G3 Powerbook 266 and Windows 98 runs pretty dern slow. However it is liveable and I have also ran VPC on my Performa 6400/200 at about 486 speeds. Good luck! (26 years ago, 10-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
