Sarcasm aside, emulators seem to be making a comeback these days.
VMware runs on Linux and Windows, and last week I did a review of
a new emulator called Win4Lin. There's also the WINE project,
which Corel uses so that its Linux and Windows programs have the
same code base, and plex86, an open source emulator being
developed by Mandrake Linux.
I don't know about VAX emulators, but, in theory (and with about
512 megs of RAM), I could run Windows using the Linux version of
VMware, then install the Windows version of VMware and run Linux
. . but the infinite regression is making me a little dizzy, so
I'll stop right here.

There's no' a man among them a' will look him in the eye?"
