Well, considering what John's done for the emulator movement
I can't call that predatory pricing. If the market is there,
then so be it... BTW, I realize we have many consultants on
this list who can justify that cost as a business expense.

I also realize people of various means are on this list. I
do confess to wishing I had more "leverage"; I hope that
doesn't get taken as class jealousy.

Ken Harrenstein's KLH-10 has this ability, although I haven't
used it yet.

It sure would be nice if someone would do a commercial
HP2000/2100 emulator and be able to cripple it slightly
for those hobbyists who'd like to run one. Yes, Bob, I
read your message, but I had something else in mind...
