Similarly, I've been using a VM on a Mac since around 2001 to run
WinDOS apps that won't run on a Mac. My old Pismo was a little slow,
but usable. My 2006 MacBook runs just fine, though I'd like to have
more RAM so I didn't have to quit so many Mac apps I always keep open
when I want to start up Windoze. Still, it's better than having to
reboot!

And that's getting a little off the original topic, but I just
couldn't help it. Thanks, Lee!
