[NPMUG] Parallels Desktop 4.0 Upgrade

[Flaccus M. B. Stifel]

I bought an MBA in October, and so was eligible for the free Paralles upgrade.

It took a couple of weeks to get it, but they finally processed the 
order last week.

I installed it, and it does seem to run OK.  However, I don't use the 
Windows enough to tell if it's significantly slower than the older 
version.

However, I have run into some older C-Dilla encoded CD's I need to 
read, and the newest systems they will run on are NT and 95.  I can't 
generate a virtual machine for either of these with Parallels 4.0; 
it'll just do XP and Vista.  Bummer!  I have to find an old PC with 
95 on it to read these disks, as the decoder has to be installed in 
the system.

If I find 4.0 does not work well I can re-install the older version.

BTW, I have a couple of older SCSI hard drives I need to wipe, and an 
old original 9" Mac.  Is there software to do this I can put on a 
floppy drive?  I can put the drives in an old LC I have to wipe them, 
but all my software is too new.
