Becuase a Mac II needs to emulate an Apple II as much as an Amiga needs to emulate a Vic-20. Presumably, if you bought a Mac II you want to run all of the native applications its capabilities support, not a bunch of obsolete apple II programs. > This would give Mac II owners access to software like color games > that are so chronically lacking. If you really wanted to play color games and can afford a Mac II, I assume you could buy a small 8-bit computer just for that purpose. The best way to emulate a particular computer is to buy it. --M Michael Portuesi / Information Technology Center / Carnegie Mellon University ARPA/UUCP: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: rainwalker@drycas "if you ain't ill it'll fix your car"
