If anyone is ever interested, I can give information on Virtual Machines. Microsoft has free ones, but VMware makes better ones. (I think).

They install on any machine, and it is just like have an entirely different computer. You can put on as many operating systems as you want, I know one tech geek who has over 25 OS on one VM. Granted, you tend to run one at a time, and you have to have a license for each OS, but you can bring it up at the same time you are running your actual computer and do anything in it. It's just like having a separate computer.

Again, if 10 = High Geek (no life at all) and 1 = Don't know where the start button is, then you probably need to be at least a 6 to install one WITH networking. I can help if you want, but so can Al and many others on here.

Virtual Machines are the coolest thing to come along since the Hula Hoop and Frizbees. smile

For me, who is about a 7 on the Geek Meter (please don't confuse me with the Circuit City's Geek Squad or is that Best Buy's), it is the most amazing thing I have done with a PC. You can even RDP into it. How cool is that?

PS VMware's workstation is the best, but is not free. About $175 but well worth it.

PPS I think a 7 is where you start to not have a life. smile

<Looked up my invoice. It was $189, but there is a new version out, so who knows>
