Re: suggested persistence approach for new app

well, I'm just brainstorming, for some reason , I thought there was an
issue with installing the free versions of Gemstone straight up on Windows.
For development, I"m looking into upgrading my 2015 MBP to a M2 MBP but
running Windows 11 on Parallels , so that throws a twist , i.e. that would
mean Gemstone running on Windows ARM, of course many ways of setting this
up , could run GS straight up on Mac i.e. I believe it already runs on
Silicon ?
