- Well TBH I think emulation of /any/ platform is a good thing! Personally
- I'd use it. I could type essays in an Amiga WP but it I thought I wasn't
- going to finish, it would be nice to load up Word and do any reformating
- etc. b4 going to college the next day.

- But they don't run PC software :-P I like th miggy (and I've nothing against

- and the configurable anim at the top right ;)
