Not anymore!  ;-)

Check out http://www.emulators.com/ for Gemulator Pro.  Take a look at
those screen shots of Mac OS 8.1 booting up on the PC!  Wow!

Gemulator Pro even runs 68040 software faster than a G3 on a high end
PC because it is written in x86 assembly language (impressive, x86
assembly is considered a real dog compared to 65C02 or 65C816
assembly).

Gemulator Pro comes with a ROM card so you do not need any ROM
files thus do not need to own a Mac.
