I have been a PC user for many years and am tired of all the problems with it. I read the article in the July issue of Electronic Musician on building a personal studio. They described a system with a PC running Gigastudio and the main computer a Mac G4. I plan on purchasing the system described.

Has anyone purchased a computer from this company? or know anything about them?, Is the cost resonable?.
I have seen a software program called Virtuial PC that is designed to run PC software on the Mac. I have a lot of music PC programs, will they run on the Mac with this program. If so, mabey I can run Gigastudio this way.
Thanks for any help .
