Yes, yes, yes Darek!  I'm very surprised and impressed to see you pop up in
here.  I don't know if you've noticed, but your name has been passed a bit in
here already.

What do you think the possibilities of a Apple //GS emulator are?  It would
seem to me that because of the similarity in pallettes and screen modes, it
would be easier to do on the Amiga than any other machine.  The sound would
probably have to be cut down, but nevertheless, a //GS emulator with Apple //e
sound wouldn't be too shabby at all.  It would be a nice slap in the face to
Apple who seem to think that a card is needed for //e emulation on a 20 mhz
68020.
