  29.     Maroon! Have you even tried to write an emulator? (I haven't
  30. either but I don't go around knocking emulators which aren't perfect)
  31. Keep in mind that the Executor folks wrote the whole thing
  32. 'clean-room' without decompiling Apple's code. The last company which
  33. did that was Compaq when they 'cloned' (apparently Compaq hates the
  34. word) the PC bios. It isn't easy to do well and you shouldn't knock
  35. the Ardi folks for trying.

  39. PS: If you think it's so shitty, why buy it?
