[FM Discuss] introducing myself

[Rosalind Lord]

So it’s OK to make screenshots on a Mac if the chapter is about installing on a Mac, but all the other chapters should have a Windows-like look.

Just want to make sure I’m correct on this.

I don’t have access to a Windows machine right now, but would it be OK for me to use a program that simulate Windows on my Mac, such as Virtual Box, to make the screenshots?
