I don't agree with Charlie Graham that you have to "Get a life: get a PC!"

I have been running PC programs on my Quadra for some time now and haven't
experienced these difficulties.  Prior to the Quadra I was equally
successful on a IIci.  On some PC programs I've had minor keyboard mapping
problems to figure out, but once I've done that it works fine.

According to the Feb '94 issue of MacUser, Apple has come out with a new
Quadra 610 that is a dual-platform machine; i.e. both Mac and PC.  You can
connect two monitors (PC and Mac) and have it running both programs at
once.  Besides the normal Mac functionality, it also contains an Intel
microprocessor on a 68040 PDS expansion card with MS-DOS 6.2 preinstalled
on the hard disk.

It should be very interesting to see if it handles the duplicity well.

 Have fun!  Jean.
