Jae, I don't know anything about VirtualPC or MacOS10, but when I think of a small clinic with lots of terminal locations being used intermittently .... I have to ask if multiple XTerminals can run instances of a single VirtualPC application called on OS10 server. would that be legal with the license or VirtualPC? would the *one* machine handle everything: VistA, multiple X Sessions for cheap terminals, either calling for Roll&Scroll VistA sessions or instances of VirtualPC+CPRS (not to mention native Osirix)?
