Election Burnout?

Fun for geeks

 

 

We use virtual desktops quite a bit for testing and so forth in our organization, both with our servers and on desktops. Emulation is so much fun, though Microsoft’s Virtual PC has its limitations, including the inability to isolate and utilize USB resources on the host, which would be great for one reason: flash drives. Instead, extra steps are required. An encrypted virtual desktop can be a useful extra step to protect confidential data in case of loss or theft on a password-protected mobile PC, by the way.

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, this is what you can do for fun with a desktop with a decent amount of resources (some of these should bring back memories!)...

Don’t let the filter fool you though; plenty of the doggy dander and dusty critter fuzz got through leaving enough dust bunnies to scare a cabbage patch.

I tried one of those virtual acquariums, but my fish kept dying. I also tried the virtual dog pet, that was kind of fun.

Do virtual pets shed? Maybe I should upgrade.
