Alex, I'm well enough, thank you. Be sure to tell IT (in the off chance that they're unaware) that the virtual machine (VM) is, effectively, a safe "sandbox" that can't affect the host laptop in any way unless the VM has been explicitly configured to interact with the host system -- and even that is limited to file sharing. At the end of the class, the VM can be removed -- as if it never existed. > Hi Steve, > > Hope you are well. > > I have been working with my IT Department on this... and the short answer I > do not know.
