On occasion, it could be suggested that the wording I use in conveying a message might be described as at least a little excessive. To assist, much effort is being made to reduce the strain on the reader by using sentences that are less VERB-ose. Eliminating some verbs can help the reader feel that “no action” has been or needs to be taken. Overall, this could provide a much less stressful experience to the individual who may be reading the aforementioned message. LOL. That’s what happens when typing on a phone and not bothering to proof read. Oh and chalk this one up to the current low-grade fever I have. :-) > >> When I had VirtualBox 7.x running on that Mac, there were several issues. > > I want to query that x in "7.x". It was a while ago. I forget. Think it was 7.0 something. Then latter, I may have tried 7.1 something. I could be wrong. The result was to have a working DOS client in VirtualBox on this Mac, I needed to go back to the latest 6.x version. Maybe after FreeDOS 1.4 is released, I will try 7.x again to see if it has been “fixed" > Just FWIW I mostly use a Mac too but I develop my own > DOS-on-a-USB-stick project on Linux. > > I have found VirtualBox 7.1 to be buggy.
