Now I remember! (I knew that would happen!)

Since the Apple and the Commodore 64 both run off of basicaly the
same processor, I'd like a C64 emulator that would read C64 disks
and run the programs. Basicaly a lot of interuping and repointing
for all the builtin C64 registers. The E wouldn't be able to handle
this, but the GS should. (I have a lot of old EDUCATIONAL software
the 64 that I'd like to run in the classroom where there are only
apples) It would need to handle joystick emulation and everthing.
The GS should be fast enuf for this and since I have 2 meg and will
upgrade soon, doing even a dump of the whole ROMs shouldn't be
unreasonable (considering that no program can use more than 64K
as the 64 is not expandable). This would be ultra tedium tho, and I
don't know if anyone else would be interested, but I may be willing
to pay $25-~60 (as a 64 can be had for under $60). It may be better
suited for a kind soul with nothing better to do with their time...
