- Granted that Emulator costs money and lacks a few features (quite a
- few, granted!). However, it is a nice solution for those with a very
- fast pc - even on slower PCs like the 486100, 040/25 or 33 speeds are
- attainable. That's not at all bad. Now, how fast can an Amiga
- emulate a PC? And what are the relative percentages of users that see
- a need to emulate another platform, on both platforms?
