Actually this brings up a very interesting point.  How many people are
currently using VM on their Macs?  I am using Virtual '030 on my IIcx
and have found no instances of software that crashes.  I often use:

Excel 2.2
Word  4.0
MacProject II
MPW 3.01
ThinkC 4.06
NCSA Telnet 2.3
White Knight 11.06

And a host of utilities and INITs running under System 6.0.5.  Has anyone
ran into an application that does not work under VM?  Why don't we start
a list now and see what might create problems when 7.0 comes out!
