Harumph. Not even a Miata chat is worth stooping that low...  :-)



Seriously, I've had SoftWindoze on my Mac for a couple of years. It's OK 

if you absolutely-positively gotta run a DOS or Windows app, but I've 

rarely found a compelling reason to do so. As you'd expect of a 

software-only emulator, it ain't fast, although it seems quite stable.



Just out of curiosity--and by no means intending to start a stupid OS 

war--I wonder how many Miata owners also have Macs? I suspect it's *way* 

more than the average of computer owners in general. I also suspect that 

many Miata owners own/use Macs *and* PCs fairly interchangeably. After 

all, it's much more fun to trash Del Sols than computers...
