	Can somebody explain to me why the average Mac user, say a typical
office secretary, or a scientist who just wants to do word processing, data
graphing, and figure preparation, or a (non-CS) student typing papers (or
just about anybody not doing programming or major number crunching) needs
VM?  OK, so you can't run Unix on it, but so what?
