- - Joke? It's no joke as Gemulator does exist... I have one in my 486-33 right
- - Of course, some folks might consider it a "joke" (albeit an expensive one) if

- As far as I'm concerned, the GEMulator is one big joke. As somebody once
- said on the net here, why would somebody want to run Atari ST programs if
- they had a PC? I surely wouldn't. This is not to mention that you need
- a minimum <Snicker!!> 486-33 machine to run at 100% Atari ST speed.
- Yeah, right! Give me a break, Darek J. Mihocka!!!!! All I can say is,
- "Good riddance to sour grapes!" The only decent program he ever made for
- the ST was Quick ST (now called Warp 9, distributed by CodeHead
- Technologies).
