- =================
-
- i used to run Mathematica on a Mac II with a Connectix's Virtual (in
- fact, i beta tested a couple of versions of their product using
- mathematica) with no problem. The system 7 virtual is much slower than
- connectix's [and 7.1's virtual is impossibly bad] and is pretty awful
- (its standard apple policy to take the work of third part developer's and
- make an inferior version of their own).
