- Well, not by me. I count it as an emulator if it reproduces *all* of
- the functionality of the machine being emulated. The thing is that
- with the Amiga, that means real time, because real time is one of
- the things which made the Amiga unique. If something like UAE gets
- 50% of the speed of a real Amiga, that means that its real-time
- response is going to be only 50% of REAL time, and that's why
- I consider UAE a simulator, not an emulator. They might make it
- yet, but I have my doubts.
