	The last two are free, at least in some form. Might be worth checking  
out first. Parallels is in an arms race with VMware for Mac  
virtualization dominance (and, indeed, they launched their VM first);  
I'm not sure how much of Parallels work on the Intel Mac is spilling  
over to their other products...

	I'd hardly want to sell it, but what's better than an icon that is  
also a valuable icon?
