- Just because Windows has the most diabolical VM implementation ever seen
- doesn't meen that VM itself is a bad thing. You may think it slows down
- your computer to a crawl, but if, every now and then, you need to edit a

- able to edit it (albeit slowly) than have to wait until you can afford
- another SIMM?
