David Coursey of AnchorDesk is trying a unique experiment: he's switching to a G3 Mac for a while to see if he can stand it, or if he has to revert to a Windows XP to get things done. Given his list of fine print and other details, I'd be surprised if he can't make a clean OS X transition with a few minor exceptions. He thinks that running an emulator is cheating, but I'd say it's simply employing tools at your disposal. If you buy a fully loaded portable laptop with a decent processor and memory running Windows XP and buy extra batteries to match the iBook, it's hard to imagine that costing less than an iBook (6 hours with the new larger version because of a bigger battery) plus $150 to $250 for Virtual PC for OS X.
