-
- >Where can I get this emulator?
-
- http://www.ardi.com is a good place to start.
-
- >Is it shareware, can I ftp it?
-
- It's a retail program, but a timed demo (allows ten minutes of use per
- execution) is available for download. Be aware that all 1.99x versions
- are pre-beta code. Then again, anything v1.99x blows away the old v1.2
- release functionalitywise.
-
- >Is there any way of running a mac desktop with it, or will it only run
- >a single program?
-
- It's a single-program emulator, and comes with a browser that displays
- folders and icons and things (not Finder). The web site I mentioned
- has (amongst other things) a FAQ. :-)

- Unlike a 286, however, a 680x0-based Mac II is capable of running most
- modern Mac software (thanx to fat binaries).
-
- And remember -- a lot of older Mac software was written for Mac SE and
- older machines that are *considerably* slower than the II series -- and
- because of the Mac's graphical nature, those older apps are often quite
- usable today, unlike the old text-based DOS PC apps (which most folks
- won't touch with a ten-foot pole now).
-
- Besides, my intention was not to "impress people" with Executor's speed,
- but rather to describe it as being considerably faster than it could be.
- E/D is somewhat faster than it needs to be to get constructive work
- (and effective play) done. What more does one require?

- I heard from Cliff and Mat again last night. They are indeed in booth
- 4566 as they're supposed to be, and they now have an ARDI sign which
- may help people to find them more easily.
-
- Demonstrations have been generally going well, except for one
- embarrassing moment when Executor froze in front of Apple staff.
- Cliff had a meeting with Guy Kawasaki of Apple, and picked up a few
- tips for directions ARDI may want to follow.
-
- The guys have given out many hundreds of business cards, and WWW site
- hits are up.
