Hey Rick,
Thanks that's sort of helpful, at least I know it's got a fighting chance of working...there were a coupla questions that seemed to pop up after I sent my original and after reading your reply as well:
- Say I buy the new Acer and turn it on, what next? At this point assume that neither machine has been modified to incorporate any VMware products. Please be as cook book specific as you know how to. Don't assume great computer literacy on my part, just above average ambition :-)
- I'm not entirely familiar with VMplayer apart from the fact that it's also available gratis
