I diagree.
We need both the emulation-simulation fans, AND the hardware fans.
I keep reading my original post to see where it is that I suggest
a split; I don't. But you're not alone in having mis-read my post.
I've felt that discussions about emulators and simulators weren't
quite welcome here. I want to see them included.
[..snip..]
As for the computing experiuance being computing, I
also disagree.
Again, a misunderstanding... I consider the term "Classic Computing"
to be more inclusive than "Classic Computers". The latter implies
(to me) a hardware focus; the former is more inclusive, describing
both hardware and software.
Building devices and interfacing them to the hardware
has always been
a major attraction to computing, and this is nearly all the original
personal computers were able to do.
Hell, I know a guy that did this with mainframes as well.
I'm glad to have stimulated conversation; sorry so many are misreading
my intentions.
