Here is why I resurrected a copy of an olde emulator, AmigaTransformer:

In the USA, we have a very complicated set of laws and forms for income
taxes.  The tax computation programs for the Amiga do not have any where
near the capability of those written for MSDos.  (I suspect that the
Amiga ones are really ports of ones that had been originally written for
MSDos, but were not accepted there because there were better ones.)

Anyway, I found it better to buy an original copy of the program for
IBM, and put up with the slooow response, because it was still better
than my having to study the forms and use a calculator.

When I sent in my registration form, I boldly wrote AMIGA in answer to
what computer model I was using, and suggested that they make a real
Amiga version available for next year.
