	Obviously, a non-amiga-owner. Anyone who has had experience whith
	the "Down's Syndrome" PC emulator (Transformer) realizes that software
	emulations (interpretive ones) are absolute SH*T.  Don't get me wrong,
	I think the 386 is gonna lose in the CPU wars.


	COME ON GUYS!! KEEP THIS DISCUSSION IN net.micro.68k or net.micro.pc

	OK??
