Well because there is so much msdos software out there.  Alot of which is

not very sophisticated and doesn't need a fast machine but is only found

on or for msdos machines.  I hope they speed up this IBeM emulator, like

was talked about.  There are just alot of simple little programs out there

for msdos machines.  An msdos emulator for $30 is the greatest thing since

birthcontrol as far as I'm concerned.
