----------
While your arguments are perfectly good -- let the Amiga concentrate
on the things it's good at -- there are a noticeable number of people
who already have PCs and don't particularly want to have TWO computers.
For those who have some amount of PC software that they are using and
want to go on using, the ability of the Amiga to run that software
would be a big plus, even if the emulator is clunky and doesn't work
in a normal window.
