emulators

[Jeremy Smith]

Stay away from emulators inc. (emulators.com) and any softmac product. They 
are notorius for ripping off the community, the author is the equilvent of 
Dr. Derek Smart :D Although, he does have fusion PC, purchased from a 
leading company in macintosh emulation, it's free and a hundred times better 
than softmac. Although it is a dos application....

Otherwise, there is a new PowerPC emulator around, it's only in early stages 
but you are able to run a few things. It requires linux and can be found on 
source forge, I'm not on my computer at the moment and cant think of the 
name....

I'm sure it runs OS 9, but I don't think it runs 10/X... Since it's only in 
alpha stages thats to be expected, but if you were ever tracking the mac 
emulation scene, the power pc emulator was promised 5 years ago.. I'm just 
so glad that it's finally here, abit incomplete but still!! :D
