I posted the original.  I have win95 and I can run Doom95 in high-res, 
it's great.  The reason I want to run MacDoom is to be able to say "I 
CAN!"  Think about it:  Doom is a pretty cpu intensive game, it's a test 
of how well Executor works.  Is it really comparable to a real Mac or 
does it fall short.

I think that Executor is great.  The people at Ardi are doing a great 
thing.  I wouldn't condemn it just cause it can't run MacDoom, but 
wouldn't it be cool if it could.
