This is like making a new human. We make the same machines using completely different technology. Software instead of hardware. You'd better stop saying original hardware is better than emulation. I think emulation is much "hardcore", if you go deeper and deeper. Our technology isn't good enough to make software humans, so we try to make at least software Sams :))) Good luck, you hardware guys! --- Aley Keprt
