An old kerfuffle over terms.
Speaking for myself, I use "emulate" when it involves human
characteristics. "I seek to emulate Abraham Lincoln".
"Simulate" is probably a better term to use for inanimate objects.
I've never liked the e-word when used in connection with computers--but
I'm a traditionalist.
