That is the reason that we need new MSX. My MSX will be broken someday.
Now is the time to make new one. Then I'll be happy even though my MSX
would be broken because I can possess new MSX again.

You are right. Almost all MSX emulator users had MSXs. When they met
the emulator, they was very happy because they could use great MSX softwares.
And ... it's all. It's end. They just tried to run softwares once and then
never tried after.
That situation is ok. I don't care whether they use emulators or not.
But the important point is that the number of real MSX usres decreases
due to the emulator. A lot of real MSX users putted their MSXs into somewhere
untouchable-place because they could run some MSX softwares on PC.
They do not use real MSX anymore and they do not use even the emulator now.
I don't know exactly the situation in other countries. But I'm quite sure
that many MSX users have left MSX scene due to the emulators.

Well, I think you are a very GOOD MSX emulator user. I've never seen
a guy who buy softwares for MSX emulator. However, I don't consider
making such a copy-protection in my softwares.
