He/she has a MAC laptop, not a PC-mac wanna be laptop, parallels will do no good. On a 68K or PPC based mac, you will need to get ahold of an old copy of "Virtual PC" If I remember right, any version up to ver. 4 or 5. Do not buy the Virtual PC product after Microshaft took it over from connectix, Microsoft slowed down the software on purpose to make emulating a PC on a Mac a living hell for their customers so they would go out and buy a PC instead(everyones guess).
Answer: Virtual PC, or Real PC. Both products have been discontinued for awhile so you will have to download either, or buy them off eBay. I personaly use VPC 4.0.
