Agreed. Emulation will always lack something tangible.
I would have agreed with you right up until I ran winuae 0.8.23 on my 3Ghz Laptop... Up untill that point the Audio was always not quite right.
Now the Emualton is vastly superior to the real thing, from a user point of view... from a geek point of view... You aren't getting your hands on my Classic Amiga's unless it's over my cold, slightly stinky, dead body :lol:
The real things I only power up satify any retro urges I have, I try to run them as little as posible since they only have a finite life span.
