Yes, but the way a virtual machine works is that it creates its own set |
| 11 |
of "hardware" and emulates that hardware for the OS you're running. The |
| 12 |
VM software itself acts as a bridge between calls made to this virtual |
| 13 |
"hardware" and the true hardware in your system. |

The three days is from the time you first boot the machine in the VM - |
| 16 |
it remembers, even if it's shut down. |
