Been a Mac user since 1987 and do not use them for DTP, video etc. I use them to run my business which is textile recycling. Anyway I have doggedly searched out all sorts of software to run my busines but always found it challenging to get a high level accounts/managemnet program for the Mac.
Found an incredible program in India (www.tallysolutions.com) but only written for the other platform. Anyway I installed an NT server and iMAc clients running VPC. Works great but slower than Win clients. However when I take data into my G3 Lombard (400mhx/192mb) & run Tally in VPC for Win98 I have speed problems when I'm doing data searches etc. I use my G3 at home for analysis of my Tally data and when I travel.
So my question and the advice I need is would Jaguar with VPC 6.0 on a G3 Lombard be slower than 9.2.2 with VPC 3.0 on a G3? In other words is it worth getting rid of my G3 and moving to a G4 to run Tally under emulation mode using VPC 6.0. If there will not be a marked improvement then it seems I will have lost my tenacity to the Mac platform and be forced to get a windows laptop.
Any guidance appreciated as I dearly wish to keep to the Mac platform but also need to be practical and realistic running a commercial enterprise.
Thanks.
