My sole Fox box is starting to make sounds like it's going to die, so I thought I'd better get a backup moved over 'just in case'. I also need to run QB, but those are the only two Windows apps I need anymore. > QuickBooksPro, occasionally SourceSafe.

Not too worried about not being OS. That's kinda in the middle of my list. Most interested to get rid of: Vendors who treat customers like criminals. Hmmm, who could that be? VMWare Server sounds like it's going to be the best route.... Anyone else? I've got seven years out of this notebook; I'd say I got my money's worth if it died tomorrow. IBM sure does make 'em solid. (I dropped a TP off the counter at JFK, sans case, and all it did was scratch the corner.)
