okay my PC has been read its last rights due to having all the reliability of british rail time table.

Its replacement is a G5 power mac 2.3Ghz dual core with 2x20" displays

Now this presents one or two problems

The first problem is disposal of the old machine i am going to give it to some one i don't like

Another problem has been asked down stairs


Now the empeg related problem relates to upgrading the software via serial. Now i have a USB to serial cable that works fine with a mac. Now what i need is a none technical solution for me not being the most techy around here. I won't use it very often as upgrades only happen when i am on a ship (thanks Rob). Now i could get virtual PC but i don't know how good a solution this is. Or i could get an old PC laptop that has a serial port.

Now if virtual PC is not good then i will buy an old laptop as i need one for the caterham soon as i am getting a http://www.emeraldm3d.com/em_m3dk.html which needs a serial cable.
