I wouldn't worry too much about a shareware Mac emulator hurting Gadgets By Small much. First, the German (formerly Aladin) only used the 64K ROMs, so many newer mac programs won't run. Second, Dave Small has provided outstanding support for his products. If the shareware mac emulator were to compete with Spectre 128/GCR (tm) of Gadgets By Small, it will lose. As long as Dave Small and Company continue supporting Spectre/GCR. So, go for it. The folks who buy the Shareware mac Emulator probably wouldn't have bought the GCR anyway. But why buy the shareware?? GCR is NEW and WORKS and can read/write REAL mac floppies. So, why not buy it?? Figure, once you buy the hardware (which you only do once) you start buying software. And you will spend many hundreds of $$ on Mac SW. So, why skimp on the cost of the emulator?? The GCR is a bargain at twice its price!! Rich Covert
