Is anyone collecting the emulators?

They'd take up a lot less space and be much easier to move
or ship across the country. Maybe we could designate them
with an e such as PDP-11e to indicate an emulator in the
collection.
Wouldn't need to worry as much about carrying the right
tools, the spouse would never know how many we really
had,...
