I probably shouldve put some sort of smiley in there. Without the benefit of tone and/or infliction things can sometimes come across differently than intended.
While I do understand why an emulator might appeal to some people, and I concur they do have some advantages (speed being the obvious one if using an x86 machine) they really are different kettles of fish. I personally enjoy my amiga more than I ever liked Winuae, and even amithlon (which I much prefer over winuae and used as my main "amiga" for a number of years) struggles to find deskspace these days. I like the warts and all charm of the real thing.
