Hi George,

I look at JNOS as actually being a Virtual Machine.   After all, it's
a Network Operation System.     Long before VM's were so cool and
highly useful, we were running JNOS as a machine mostly independent of
the host system - at least as far as networking is concerned.   Since
the file system is shared and there's no way (in JNOS, TNOS had Forth)
to run local programs it may not qualify as a real VM but it still has
many of the attributes of a VM.
