Thanks, I'll have to give that a look-see. I'd probably be hosting this 
on the IMac since it has all the resources and last I seen, virtualbox 
would literally crash voiceover (the screen reader on OSX). I'll see if 
there's something available that would allow me to bypass that. The help 
would be greatly appreciated, I'd just like to do the research before 
you put in the work on your end, so I'm not wasting anyone's time.

Thanks,
