Emulators are always cool. I've been a Mac guy since Day 1. I had a 128k Mac and a Lisa. The Lisa was required for development, which I did in assembly and Pascal. This is great to see.

Emulators seem usually to have a target app, or a few of them, that are no longer available and are wanted, hence the impetus for the emulator. Game console apps, of course, are motivated by this in spades, as many good games are abandoned, and there's always a nostalgia factor.

I haven't seen such a clear such target app or set of apps mentioned for this project yet. Is this just a nostalgia thing, or is there something this is letting people run that can't be had otherwise? If so, I'm curious what the top contenders are. Are there people dying to actually use Hypercard?
