I remember back in the good old days (mine were in the
mid 70's on) that
I wish I had simulators because even when this crap was new it was a
pain in the ass. I'm into hardware and all, but software and a
simulator will present the same thing thru a terminal as the real thing,
sometimes better, which is an added plus.
If it's 'better' then IMHO it's not a faithful simulation. The fact that
you had to leave the machine running overnight to get something complied
_is_ part of running a classic computer. The fact that if you bang the
table, the RANopack wobbles and you lose everything _is_ part of running
a ZX81.
