Give that man a cigar! I've been supporting some rather old stuff
and I've found that emulation helps. I need to support older DOS
apps for that I use Linux. Add a VM and I can use the new that
only works with Windows latest and greatest, my Linux stuff and
whatever emulator that I can run under Linux (there are a bunch).

I really need to sit down and get VM working on my laptop but I'm
too busy with everything else at the moment. I should search out
a nice howto and just do it.
