I've *almost* got a copy of OSX 10.8 running in a virtual machine on the new laptop. 
It's not *quite* starting up, but I've overcome most of the problems so I just need to troubleshoot this one last niggle... 
During the afternoon, while I was waiting for the latest disk image to download, I watched "Star of Midnight", an old William Powell/Ginger Rodgers RKO movie. It's the sort of thing that BBC2 used to put on on a Saturday lunch time, but now in this age of PVRs they chose to hide it away at 7:15am. 
I also watched "Arne Dahl". I'm off to watch "Burn Notice" as soon as I post this... 
I must remember to run the washing machine tomorrow - I have to head out on Monday. 
Key: Complain about this post
