[ie will they essentially be MacEmulators for other platforms or will you have to buy Word for Mac/x86, Mac/Alpha, Mac/whatever] i guess they will be a dedicated OS instead of a separate running app. bob(tm) -- Robert Hollinger <------------------------------------> 1541 S Ocean Blvd #307 > \ www- http://www.emi.net/~bob / < Disclaimer: Pompano Bch, FL 33062 > \/\/ bob@emi.net \/\/ < <------------------------------------>I don't know her!
