Matt, are you being paid by commission?

Why is it, when people switch to Macs, they often become fanatics and try to
convince everyone else to switch too? You people are as bad as ex-smokers,
and rapidly approaching the annoyance level of Jehovah's Witnesses!

I apologize in advance to any Jehovah's Witnesses on the list - I'm just
kidding. You folks aren't as bad as Mac fanatics.

Yes, I'm aware of UML. That's all well and good, but will it let run any x86
OS on my machine? Will it let me virtualize Windows? No? Well, then, it's
not what I want. Thanks anyway, though!

I wasn't aware that you could run UML on OS X.
