This is true.  Power Macs are excellent machines, but the DOS/Windows
capability is via a "soft" PC program or adding a PC board.  DOS disks can
be read with the new Mac OS and drive, but actually running PC software is
best left to PC's.

My vote?  Go Power PC, run Vernier probeware, and get Interactive Physics.
