     There is also one big advantage to software emulation: when you
 add memory to your Amiga, you add memory to the PC/Mac.  Same goes for
 processor speed, hard drives, and whatever else.  With that situation,
 much of the need of slots vanishes.  I "properly written" version of
 the Transformer would be real nice, and also real unlikely.
