App on different systems

[Bob Sneidar]

If memory serves, I attempted to use VirtualBox once but some software I was trying to run was incompatible. I couldn’t swear to it though. As much as I love Parallels, I am fairly certain it is causing my system to become woefully unresponsive if I leave it running, and restoring sessions only exacerbates the problems. I know it’s not memory as I have 8 gigs. I might look into this. Will it import Parallels Virtual Machines?
