[WinMac] Timbuktu experiences?

I just noticed that 30-day evaluation copies of Timbuktu Pro are
available for downloading now (www.timbuktupro.com) and am wondering if
anybody here has had experience with the program. I can set up the mac
demo on my powermac, but I would need to add more RAM to my neglected
mongrel 386 to use the Windows version.

It would be awfully nice to be able to run the 386 from my mac (the real
office workhorse) with Timbuktu since I don't have the room to have
monitors and keyboards for multiple machines set up for ergonomically
correct use. Virtual PC is fine for most stuff, but I'm suffering from
Monuments of Mars withdrawal (can't get those old Apogee games to
install, don't know if it's a DOS 6.22/MMX problem or an emulator
problem...). And if I ever win a brand new non-mac in a sweepstakes....
well, I wouldn't just DUMP it, mac lover though I am! Just wouldn't have
any place to put it where it would be accessible....

I know Timbuktu has been around for a long time, so any comments (good or
bad) about how well it works would be appreciated. The 386 is running DOS
5 and Windows 3.1 at the moment, and I would probably keep it that way
(that's sufficient for Timbuktu).
