   Regarding this entire thread of messages...Does it really matter what
Atari's position is about the emulator?  Whether the emulator is illegal
or not doesn't change the fact that there are thousands of potential
users of the emulator, and since there is no DEFINITIVE proof that it is
illegal, those same users will most likely feel no guilt in using the
emulator.  As far as I am concerned, the program is a novelty, something to
show you "ST friends" when they start bad-mouthing the Amiga.  As far as 
usefullness: Why do Amiga users want to emulate an ST?  There is NOTHING the
ST can do that the Amiga can't do hundreds of times better.  That's why you
bought the Amiga, right?
