Re: Tiny Miner question
TinyMiner is using mouse clicks and key strokes in order to pilot your ship in Eve Online just like a human player would. Due to this you would be hard pressed if you wanted to do other stuff on your computer at the same time. The most you could do would be to watch a movie on your other monitor while TinyMiner keeps mining on the first one.
If you want to work on your computer while TinyMiner is mining then you would need a separate computer or laptop dedicated to that purpose. Another solution would be to use TinyMiner inside a VMWare virtual machine that is treated as a separate computer running inside your main PC. Needless to say you would need a pretty powerful computer for the virtual machine to run smoothly. Hope this helps.

Re: Tiny Miner question
You can easily transfer your current license to the VM but first make sure to test it thoroughly with the trial version of TinyMiner to make sure the performance is satisfactory. There is no support or guarantee for running the program inside a virtual machine so you're on your own there.

Re: Tiny Miner question
I have a question too if I may. I was wondering the same thing. I already use a double client on my laptop, but was thinking of getting an extra license for my main orca (3 acc setups). You mentioned the transfer to VM is easy - can I do it myself, or did you mean to send a ticket to get a new code? Plus, is there any recommended VM setting? I have a nice PC I would say.
