Where to get Virtual PC?

I'm interesting in buying a copy of Virtual PC 2.x for use on my Powerbook 1400 G3 450 and I need at least Windows 95 with it. Does anyone have a copy they'd like to sell or can you suggest places such as Lowend Mac where I might find it? Thanks, Spence -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by
