[self-interest] Experimental VM manager for OS X to try

[sxyzh2]

Hi Russell

Ooh this is way better.
At any rate,  it starts well.   The VM  runs with no problem 
and asks for a snapshot to be chosen.

But subsequently, the snapshot doesn't run  
(At least on my Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

The console is mute.
I'll keep trying different stuff.

Cheers
Simon
