Testing on multiple platforms

[Mark Luetzelschwab]

Dang, Glen, you beat me to it -

One Mac OS X box with Connectix Virtual PC can give you:

OS X
OS 9.2.2

Win 95,98,ME,2000, and I think XP, if you are brave. I have 95 98SE, 
and 2000 on mine and all run well.

I've found the virtual machines to be somewhat sluggish, but capable 
and comparable to owning hardware for testing purposes.

That being said - we keep a few old macs around for other OS - 
partitioned to boot into various flavors of OS 8.

Plus its really cool to give a demo to anti-mac people of your 
software and to be able to push a button to show them the windows 
side of things...
