Emulators do have uses though - What would you want to use a Mac PowerBook 160 or 486-DX4 laptop for these days? If you're patient then you could use them to run modern software on...but one of the best uses would be to emulate an atari with them.

Recently I turned a pretty useless 20MB 486-DX2 notebook with 250MB disc into an atari clone with 16-colour 640x480 display and 14MB. It was slightly slower than a real Atari but well worth it (I wrote an autoexec.bat that loaded Gemulator but piped in a command file so it started straight into TOS mode).

The only other alternative would have been to spend £600 on a Stacy laptop...
