VPC will run an accounting program like that just fine on a mini. VPC does not work with G5's but a G4 mini will run it pretty well.
It will probably even run reasonably fast. |

Thanks for the info.
I have ordered a Intel mini instead of going the software route.I believe this will give me more options in the future.
Cheers
Brian

Well, shows I am out of date. I evidently missed the update where that was fixed. Years ago.  |

How long after you turn off and turn on does it work? Mine ask me to type an authentication code but since it does not work, I can't do that! 
Ive tried it without a code but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated
Have a good day!!

I finally have my duo core mini. 
Installed bootcamp today and all is well, windows works fine.
I have to say though, 5 months without windows and now I can see how crappy it looks. Switching back and forth between the 2 OS's shows just how much better MacOSX is.
Good thing I will only have to use windows very rarely. 
Cheers
Brian

Your Mac Mini running VirtualPC should blaze through QuickTax. If thats your only Windows must-have, get VPC and garage sale the PC box. Then you'll be PC free.
It's a good feeling.
