Back in April Mr. Ewald asked if there was anyone using VPC in addition to
YDL and OSX. I do although I moved VPC to my external FW due to space
limitations. I intend to upgrade my hd later this summer to the 80g drive
and solve my space problems.
Three OS's with YD you have to reboot unless you are also running MOL--I
haven't been able to get it up and running yet--while with VPC you can keep
it booted up and switch apps from the dock if you choose. I only us it for
mapping software and Cornell U's ornithology software.

It is late put hope it helps!
