-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Paul, This does bring me to a question on VMware that I have been wanting to ask someone. Is it possible to run VMware server and workstation on the same machine? For examble, if you have a machine or two that you do not need multiple snapshots of...I would think of using server, but if I have a sizable testing environment that can blow up frequently...I would use workstation. Thanks ahead of time. Robert Paul M.
