   I beg your pardon.
 
   I have and use AMAX, Bridgeboard, and A-64 to do development of software for
those platforms, and I find them adequate. Yes, they aren't as fast as the top
of the line for those architectures, but I don't need that speed. I also don't
have the space in my home for 6 complete systems, monitors, drives, keyboards,
cpus etc. (I have 3 already).
 
   As for saying,
"Second you use an emulator if you can't buy the original computer. But
that means that you don't have money: the packages you want to run have
to be copied (piracy)" 
   Apart from being bad english, this is totally false. Just because one doesn't
choose to buy a system instead of emulating it, doesn't mean that they are 
criminals. I guess I should copy the Turbo Pascal, Turbo C++, Microsoft C, and
Microsoft Windows that I have and send them back for a refund. I think that you
are way off base in your allegations, and should carefully consider your responses
before your let them fly.
