This is a question I find myself asking a lot, too. Premise: You're going to buy a mac, but you still want to run your apple II software. Deduction: You have software, so you obviously have an Apple II. Question: Why not just keep the II, and buy a Mac in addition? In other words, what is the point of the emulator card, when a logical analysis indicates no one will need to buy it? > Lloyd >I am, because I said so. Ok! You're Lloyd!
