 Well yes, what I had in mind wasn't exactly kosher, but in a sense I
wasn't hacking their rear ends or messing with their computers in a
way that would actually alter their own setup. I was "just" using
their RAM and processor's ticks (to put it somehow), so, as I
understand things, all they would have to do is remove the
virtualization software to have their thing exactly as they had given
it to me and yes, I was a bit lazy. I was trying to avoid using,
minding another computer ...

 Also I wanted to leave their computer on with email and such related
business ... while still being able to multitask (which I do quite
naturally, even unconsciously) from another virtualized view. At the
end of the day I would have removed my USB micro drive and we would be
all happy. Something in me tells me this should be technically
possible.

 and I wonder if you clinically lack some sense of humor or probably
your thoughts and jokes are flying too high and fast for me to follow
them:

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_of_all_possible_worlds

 https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/leibniz-evil/

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candide

 In my way of interpreting his philosophy. He wasn't really talking
about "evil"/"good", "optimism"/"pessimism" ... to see that you must
understand his "God" in a "characteristica universalis" kind of way,
but then again this might be off topic here in a computer related
group or maybe it is very much topical, who knows.
