It's kind of neat watching your CPU core usage in Activity Monitor on one screen while running a Stata job on your Windows XP virtual machine on another screen (*).

(*) Even though the good folks of StataCorp have long supported the Mac, my formerly all-PC employer only licenses the Windows version.
