OH NO!!!!!

I made the mistake of requesting info on this about 4 months ago.  I got flamed
by some guy who couldn't understand why anyone would like to use software
developed for an inferior system.  I won't include the amazing essay I replied
with on "Reasons why computers aren't useless just because they're cheaper
or outmoded," because it seems intuitively obvious to me.

I will tell you that, to my knowledge, there are no supported packages which
will provide effective and fast emulation.  I was looking for one which
would work on the Mac II because it would be fast enough and support color.
This would immediately make thousands of programs available in areas which
the mac II is chronically lacking:  games, education, etc.

Anyway, good luck.  I think such a program would be extremely useful - maybe
someone will see this and write one...
