VM needs swap-space, My HD is pretty full of apps, I have no room for swap- space; therefore, to use VM, I would need to buy a larger HD, and I cannot afford to buy another HD at ANY price, yes I have absolutely no money for expenses beyond basic living and school. Also, VM requires a >=68020 CPU and MMU, there is absolutely no way I can afford a machine that includes thos items and the architecture to use them (even though the Amiga can, I can't get it). > > -Mike
