- SoftPC Windows has a recommended platform of a Mac Quadra 700 or
- 950. I've used Macs for over three years and I would hardly call
- this a viable solution, though I am sure they aren't aiming at a
- big market segment with the product anyway. For the price
- difference, you're better off buying a IIci and taking the extra
- money and buying a decent IBM compatible system.
