It's "cheap" until you start to consider maintaining the thing. Also, my
laptop is pretty much always with me. I don't need to be carrying a
second laptop and I'm not happy with the idea of having access to
software from only one place.

2. Call Jeppesen support and ask about VMWare.

Ha! Easier said than done given their voice-mail-jail. But I did
finally have enough time to get through. The answer I got from tech
support was "sometimes". That's actually an improvement over "I don't
know" or even "VMWhat?"

The person to whom I was speaking actually seemed to know something about
it. He said that it works for the basic functionality of the package,
but where problems arise is in speaking to GPSs.

Since I'm not trying to do that (at least at the moment {8^), I view this
as very promising.

They also offer time to try and send it back if it doesn't work for me.
So I'm going to give it a try. I'll post the results.

Thanks...
