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. I only draw
when I feel like moving slowly and relaxing; otherwise being forced to work that
slowly could be frustrating.
Matt's Track designer works OK. Things tend to bog down when I am moving alot of
track, more than 8 pieces. Since it sounds like you have Virtual PC it would not
take much effort to download MLCAD and give it a try.
