For this reason I usually don't shut down Tiger in VirtualBox, but suspend it and save the state. Every once in a while I do reboot, just for "cleanliness".

Also, perhaps for this reason, I have to specifically set the clock every time I relaunch it using the System Preferences date and time panel, using "Network Time".

That minor issue aside, @ranma42 has done a really spectacular job here. It is quite helpful to have Tiger Intel working to help move build fixes along with Tiger PPC (and to have people without PPC boxes try out Tiger builds if they want to).
