Hi! Jean,

Don't worry, I had noticed you'd "gone quiet" for a bit.  My
thinking was that you were swapping seasonal residences again.  :)

Well, I cloned a new Win98SE vBox off of another Win98SE vBox (that I use
as our email gateway).  (This time I used the vBox cloning method rather
than the hard way through a DOS copy.  I'm learning still!)  It was
specifically aimed at running an old favourite game that doesn't run
properly in my XP vBox, where I assumed the vBox (Guest Additions) video
driver was at fault.  Although the game runs well-enough most times I don't
think it's well-suited to running even in a Win98SE vBox, which was never
the makers' intention.  It would be a pity to have to drop it after a 17
year history, here.

I sleep safe at night knowing that you're giving the latest technology a
good thrashing.  You do know that Flynn was a Tasmanian (Aussie), don't
you.  ;-)

Cheers,
Paul.

... It must have been good; can't remember anything & my ears are ringing!
