  DVD player recomendations?
 
Ok, someone out there must be able to give me an educated opinion on which DVD player to buy... I am trying to decide between the Toshiba 3109 and the Sony 530. Which do people prefer, heard good/bad things about, etc.? Eric (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Trouble? It's free, right? What's the trouble - downloading and installing it? In my experience Virtual PC runs about as fast as a PC of half the clock speed of the Mac running it, so you'll be running it about as well as a 150-166 Pentium. (...)

Hi Jim, My PB is a 1400 with a G3 upgrade running at 216 MHz. The video of a PB 1400 is notoriously slow. So, using it on a G3 300 should work a lot better.
