I'm running it on an old XP laptop that is still very healthy for now



Hi Tom,

Have you considered running windows XP virtual mode in Windows 7? Recently, we had to dispose of our last Windows XP box due to a business contract ending; the box was under the contract, the software was mine. I took an image of the box and am now running it in a virtual machine inside windows 7. The coolest thing is I have a program I wrote we compile there (It's written in Visual Basic 6 which doesn't run in Windows 7 or above) and I can just select VB6 to run without spinning up the whole VM. Seems you could run that newport software without keeping an old computer around.

Just a Thought
