Hi,
As far as virtualising on OS X, I keep an XP VM around for things like games. I
gave it 2 gigs of ram and, If I remember right, 2 cores. It does absolutely
nothing to OS X if it’s running. But to really compare performance, OS X on

That is all a reasonable person can ask. If a person doesn't like the

examples of why it does not work for you personally.

months, have grown accustom to

What you say is true to a point. In professional wrestling a lot of

I’ve actually found precisely the opposite to be true, especially over the last

Well, I can agree with that assessment up to a point. Certainly having

I think you’re missing the distinction I’m trying to make, though. You’ve
