Unfortunately, it is true that running GS emulation in a PowerMac
is better than the real GS itself. Bernie II the Rescue has the
compatibility and the speed (much much much faster). PowerMac
provides the GS hardware - better 3.5" drive (superdrive),
better RGB monitor, SCSI, etc. It is truely a better GS.

PC running Gemulator cannot even match a real device (the Mac),
just like Mac running Virtual PC is only running 1/10 of the
real speed PC. So both are not really a better choice.

For a GS loving person, this is an insult. Look back to my post.
I did not use word like GSculator, etc, unlike yours.

If you could prove that a real GS is better than the PowerMac/bernie
combo or PC/XGS (yes, I can prove the latter), then we can discuss
on this.
