He wasn't.  He was asking for help.  "Sell the PC."  Very nice advice, Nathan. 
Tell you what:

Only when looking through those wacky glasses of yours, Nathan.  Maybe he just 
happens to have one.  Or maybe he's living in the 90s where modern machines are 
often required.

I agree about the piracy (I run stuff on my emulator, but it's all stuff I own 
for my Apple).  But there's nothing inherently wrong with an emulator.

Jeez.  Anyone got some spare perspective they can sell Nathan here?
