I guess that's something that you can't do with virtualbox, which I 
use.  I'll have to try that because it might be fun.  I don't care about 
waiting for computers because I'm retired and I have many to attend to.

Besides, while my code is compiling I can go get a shot and a beer :-)

My son has a tee shirt he wears to work that says, "I'm not goofing off; 
my code's compiling"

thanks for the tip on Qemu.
