Thanks for the guidelines. I'll experiment first. I *might* go the way |
| 60 |
of pre-packaged VMs, though, since after all that's what I'm planning |
| 61 |

Yeah, sorry about that. Bad habits. When you're mobile with Symbian |
| 71 |
smartphones, circumstances will make one acquire bad habits really |
| 72 |
quickly :( |

The *only* way I can properly bottom post like now, is to visit |
| 75 |
Gmail's 'basic HTML' interface using Nokia's browser *sigh*. |
