I also use an iMac 266, and Virtual PC works fairly well on most brand name (read that as M$oft) office-type software. However, I have found the speed reduction on some games that I play is only equal to about a 486-66, and the sounds are NOWHERE near the same. I use MSDOS a lot, and there is simply no substitute for a bonafide PC for the applications and games I have. Yet, the software and games written for iMac just runs rings around the PC, and never had a hangup.
