Put that way, you're right. However I set up Tbird initially to follow one semi-private newsgroup I've been with for many years, so it's just there. I then configured its mail accounts so that it would be available as a temporary backup in case of any problems with the VM rig, so it's a case of using what's in place instead of setting up still more tools... With at least two cores and 2 GB of RAM, the VM is as snappy as my older native installs of WinXP. Actually, the box running TB! is a hyperthreaded Pentium 4 with only one true core, but VirtualBox treats it as two... -- Best regards, Jim mailto:[email protected] Using The Bat! v4.2.36.4 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 on VirtualBox 3.2.12 under Xubuntu 10.04.2 with AntiSpamSniper Version 3.2.4.5 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
