Re: [PCTECH] OT - Mac Question...

[Mike Wills <koldark@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't concider this OT since a mac, is really a PC.

As to the question: Since OS X is UNIX, it has built in VPN (generally
open-standards only) and there is a 5250 emulator through Mochasoft.
Yes, there is an MS version of Office (although look and feel might be
a bit different). For a home machine (assuming no gaming) an iMac or
low-end G5 would be the best.
