! ...In a recent thread, Tony Duell expressed a lack of interest in the
! emulators and simulators of old iron that are now circulating. His
! reasons centered around his love of hardware. From my perspective,
! it appears that for Tony, the experience of computing cannot be
! separated from the experiencing of the computer....
!
! ...I'm not sure how many of you have ever thought about this; but
! now that I've broached the subject, whaddy'all think?

        I dunno about splitting the list. Even my interest is in the
hardware side, like Tony, I'm sure there are many here that go both ways.
And there will be new guys, that are unsure about thier preference, and
seeing discussions about both sides in one place here, will definitely be
helpful to them...
