Given that you can get a basic VGA card for less than $100 retail these
days, there doesn't seem to be much point in doing so.  The only people
who might need an emulator are those of us with laptop and notebook
computers which support CGA and have no slots.  I didn't purchase my
CGA-equipped laptop with graphics in mind; I have a much better system
for graphics elsewhere.
