Spend the money on a similator. You'll be dollars ahead. The G4 is a good one.
I agree. Easier said than done though if your not a Windows/MAC user. I have used ClearView when i actually had a Windows box here and it worked quite well. At the moment I'm using CRRCsim which is the only thing I've been able to find for Linux. It seems to work just fine. Not fancy but functioal.
