The only problem with this is that most emulators (including STM) have no
support for copy-protected disks.  I own a lot of Apple II software, and
most of it is copy protected, and as a result I only use the emulator with
stuff I own that isn't copy protected.  I certainly don't get the same use
out of the emulator as I do an Apple II, let me tell you.
