Janina, I swear I am not stocking you across email lists. :)

I just find your posts useful.

I liked the idea of using VirtualBox. For example, one can have a VM 
specifically for banking, which should prevent many security problems. 
it could even be setup to start from a snapshot, so anything done in one 
session is forgotten, next time the VM is activated.

I do have a simple question:

When I last tried to get my non-technical spouse to use VirtualBox, 
something that was very annoying to her, was the keyboard capture shortcuts.

Now, if I have two consoles, one with command line or even Mate, and the 
second with VirtualBox running Mate and Firefox, can I Control+Alt into 
the VirtualBox one and start using it normally?  Or will there be a 
process of keyboard capture before one can use it?

Thanks,

Fernando
