I'm confused though, your blog says there's no limits on the VMs except that they are time limited.  However, I can't seem to change the local host file to map my local IP address so I can test files running on my local MAMP server.  It's possible it's just been so long that I've used Windows that I'm doing something wrong, but every time I try to save the host file, it tells me I don't have the rights to do it.

Sorry to be emailing you about this, I think the comments on you blog about using the VMs are closed now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jennifer";}
