Looks like what I said a lonnnnnnng time ago about Gemulator was true.
I said D.M. was making Gemulator basically to sell only to ex-ST users
who wanted to throw away their ST and get a clone. He was providing one
more incentive (as if *that* was needed :) ) to get a clone, because
you could still use your ST software.

Anyone who still thinks Gemulator is being made to convert millions
of IBM worshippers over to the wonderful Atari software base needs
some psychiatric care. He's doing it to hasten the Atari nosedive.
For the record, I still like the ST (actually the STe) a lot, for
several reasons, and have no wish for Atari to go under. Darek it
seems definitely wants them to go under.
