 I bet Microsoft is wondering who's running all of those copies of
 32-bit Windows 10! I was running my BBS bare metal on a system with 8GB
 of RAM and not using anything above 4GB, then decided to run Proxmox on
 the box and virtualize the BBS under it. Worked like a charm, and I got
 snapshots plus overhead to run a VM or two alongside the BBS.

 By the time Windows 10 goes EOL, I should have any DOS dependencies
 out of the way. Realistically, now, all that's left is the DOS app I
 use for making nodelists, and I could run that just fine in a DOSBOX
 window.
