[Macpartners] VMware appliances with MIT software

[Marion Leeds Carroll]

Hi, Allan!
I added Parallels and installed Windows onto my personal Mac, so that  
I can check web-design code in IE.  I don't use it often (not as  
often as I should!), but it does work very easily... only it was  
expensive to set up.
