Gotcha, thanks Tim. I have to say, I've been really impressed with VirtualBox! My usage has been minimal (played through Myst and Riven in a Win98 virtualbox!) but it's worked very well. I also like Parallels Desktop for Mac, but am getting tired of the upgrade train! Had to upgrade to version 4.0 when Snow Leopard came out, and now there's a version 5.0 out.
