Re: old versions of Client Access on system

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll second Jim on the VMWare.  My old XP laptop has lived on as a VM 
for 4 years.  I use it SO rarely these days that I think I'll push the 
100 GB VM off my current laptop to the server.  But, being able to 
resume a session on the old XP machine and take a look at something or 
use a tool that didn't make it to Win7 can be really handy.  I have also 
had some OS/Browser issues that I needed to test and being able to fire 
up a VM to check it is really convenient...
