    Does anyone know what the hell this actually *MEANS*?

    Is this sort of like the one time I ran the TI-85 emulator inside of vMac inside of VirtualPC on a Mac, or am I just missing something? Or maybe the time that I ran VPC in ShapeShifter inside of UAE on the PC?!?!

    And, again, we are supposed to use this sort of thing in *ENTERPRISE COMPUTING* .. or am I again missing something?
