I have been trying to get the VPC trial version to work on my G4 PB.
After reading here I understand why it has not worked, it is for PC's
only.
If I had a pc why would I need VPC?

I have not used my Virtual PC 5.0.4 (Windows 2000 Professional) for two
years.  I now have need to use it again.  I need to access two data
