It does of       course use up more memory / resources running two MacOS versions at the       same time and I don't know if there's a noticable perfomance hit       running the Apple II emulation inside Mojave virtualisation inside Big       Sur.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
