The software emulator that I've got are all jokes.  I have an Amiga 1000
and a 1040ST.  The Amiga Emulator was neat, it reminded me of AmigaDOS 1.1.
A lot of windows did things the Amiga *used* to do, and it even Gurus. But,
like I said, its a joke; a farce.

The ST emulator that I have is poor.  It puts up a low-rez default desktop
picture, green/white/black colors, ya know?  The mouse pointer turns into
the Atari pointer, but other than that, it doesn't even do anything funny.
It is a big dissappointment.

Now, if anyone has a *real* emulator, or a better joke ST emulator, let me
know....

BTW, has anybody used RezRender?  If you do, go to the dialog where you can
define the colors and materials, and click in the box marked "green."
I couldn't stop laughing!
