Hi Paul,
What version/flavor of VMWare do you use? I'm not too familiar with it, and don't want to buy more than I need... | Brant Layton| |480.964.1316|

VMWare Fusion, was something like $80. I use it to run various linux and windows installs from my macbook pro. I'd been using Parallels Desktop for years but had regretted moving from VMWare Workstation almost immediately due to performance issues. I migrated from Parallels to VirtualBox which seemed really great at first but provided horrible performance on Linux desktop guests. I migrated back to VMWare Fusion about 6 months ago and am delighted again.
I can't overstate the power of setting up your own base images. Get whatever OS with whatever drivers and software you want as your base install, clone it and fire up additional topic-based vm's from that (work on client xyz in one, and client 123 in another, etc.)

I use VMWare Client version 6.0.7 build-2844087 for many years.
I started when I had to leave XP and go up to WIN 7 64 bit.
Now running under WIN 8 64 bit.
No problems.

It is contradicted by the voice of shame.
It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger.

The latest excellent (if daunting) offering by Verity Stob on The Register linked to i-programmer.com (well worth a look if, like me, you haven't come across it before). That in turn led me to look at ms Simple Basic - a learners' programming language. I was musing on whether ms might be persuaded to come up with 'Visual Foxcub' - but was a bit put off when I noticed on the forum that ms implementation was less than thorough: <quote> Thiago#
This following ... code in Introducing Small Basic:
For i = 10 To 1 Step -1 TextWindow.WriteLine(i) EndFor
is not working! thanks!

Thanks for reporting that Thiago. That's a bug in the compiler which we'll fix for the next release. </quote>
Out of interest, I downloaded Small Basic and ran the descending loop. It worked fine.

Sure, they fixed it after a user reported the bug, but don't you think that negative increments would have been checked in testing? I don't know if I would have found it but I hope I would, and an ms team (?) certainly should have, after all it's a pretty small application.
