- I posted the original. I have win95 and I can run Doom95 in high-res,
- it's great. The reason I want to run MacDoom is to be able to say "I
- CAN!" Think about it: Doom is a pretty cpu intensive game, it's a test
- of how well Executor works. Is it really comparable to a real Mac or
- does it fall short.

- I think that Executor is great. The people at Ardi are doing a great
- thing. I wouldn't condemn it just cause it can't run MacDoom, but
- wouldn't it be cool if it could.
