     Hey, it's worse than that.  I recall seeing,
about a year ago, an ad
for an electronics project SIMULATOR in Windows software.  You build the
project, and it pretends to run it, and does what real components would
do, producing a signal on screen, and as sound, if appropriate.  *SIGH* 
Perhaps the software in question was slightly different, but electronics simulation
software 
(such as PSPICE and its variants) have
been around for a while- used it in college. Very convienient to be able to mock something
up
with the magic smoke being completely virtual, especially when you barely know what
you're doing.
