I've been using Innotek's VirtualBox for a couple of weeks now and have decided
it's ready for prime time. For those of you running an audio box where you
would like to be abel to do some general tasks, writing emails, documents,
web surfing, etc., it's a great way to manage things. Your audio install
can be completely static while your 'alternate' VM can be whatever you want.
For me, it's Debian so I can write code and such, but if you wanted you could
even install some awful version of Windows.
Very cool, and I'm posting this from my new audio laptop running a Debian
VM,
TCB

Hi Thad,
Ive been using virtual pc for this for the past while. It's fantastic, and
I have never needed a dual boot again. I've gotten so carried away that I
have virtual machines for everything from dos 3.3 up. Check this out...
Some of my favorite images so far..
1. FreeDos/Gem 3 system, running the orignal version of ventura I ran in
1989. Runs flawlessly.
2. FreeDos/VICE with autorun of VICE Vic20 emulator running my favorite vic
games. Same for C64.
3. Suse 9.3 running openoffice and firefox. This combo covers 99% of my writing/browsing
needs.
4. FreeDos/ suto starting MEKA Sega Master console emulator to run the games
I used to play with my bro back in 87-88.

Paris to get really unstable too. .....??? arg....

Carl,
I'm not really sure. They were all developed 100% on XP. The only thing
I can think of is that you have an older version (ie bought it the second
it came out :-). You can always go to www.greatidea.com/downloads to pick
up the version that works for everyone else (hahaha).

Chuck --
Can you remind a brain-damaged old Parisian where your "Wires" plugin
is to be found?
-- because, I need to make more things go to more places...
-- thanks -- chas.

Would prefer that you didn't shut up man.... you have contributed, as many
have, much to the learning here to everyone's benefit.
