Hmm. A Linux emulator (probably running under several other layers of

One of the reasons I want to have a completely
spec'd Pentium class
computer is to create an archive that will survive a reasonable amount of
time (100 years in a time capsule)
Don't you think that another 100 years of hackers will create a computer-
assisted simulation of old-timey computing? Today's emulators are great;
tomorrow's will include more and more. Sure, having the original hardware
would be fun, but I fully expect that the equivalent of tomorrow's CCC
list-members will be able to experience computing in 1999 terms, if
they desire.
