Actually, since the video output and most of the peripherals are
*virtual* on the Mac side, the label "emulator" fits quite well.

Of course, since there's a real 65C02 and memory on the card, the
emulator has a great deal of hardware support. But really, this is a
silly argument since you're both right (and wrong)
