yup, an iBook or PowerBook (if the $ isn't a problem) with Virtual PC
would be the way to go. My girlfriend has an iBook with Jaguar and that
was what prompted me to get rid of Windows totally on my laptop.
*anything* is better than Windows. I ran NetBSD for 4 years back in
school and I must say I was impressed how things improved in the open
source world in the 2 years I had Windows (too lazy to install something
else)...

Amazon actually just lowered their price for the iBook to some amazingly
low price, hard to resist... =)
