I hate to say it, but in addition to four or five Atari 8-bit systems
I also have an Amiga, and let me just point out that the Amiga does 
all the stuff you claim for the ST (Mac and PC emulation, e.g.) PLUS
can multi-task (actually RUN more than one thing at a tim -- I regularly
download from Portal and play a video game on the system at the SAME 
time...

Far be it from me to say any particular computer is better or worse than
any other, but if all you're interested in is emulation of OTHER computers,
you might as well get those AND some other nifty stuff.  Emulate the PC
in one window, and do something else in another at the same time, heheh...

Note: I don't have full details on what it takes to do all this stuff, as
  I have access to real PCs and Macs and don't bother with the emulators;
  I DO have a friend who does this though: write to aegnor@bsu-cs.bsu.edu
  for a well-considered and knowledgeable response.
