Now I feel worse:(

However, if one already has an Apple II, a Z80 card is the easiest and least 
expensive way to get a CP/M 80 machine to play with. And there is more 
credibility for a vintage developer like myself who professes to develop for 
CP/M 80, or the Apple II, or Commodore 64 if he can point to a real machine 
that he has tested his applications against as opposed to merely saying that 
he has tested on an emulator. At the end of the day we do care what our 
peers think, at least I do. I would like to be taken somewhat seriously when 
I say my stuff works:)

For me this all ties into developing my Aztec C Museum site into its 
eventual target of a full-blown retro-computing resource. It's like we 
used-to say... "If you talk the talk you need to walk the walk."

But the over-riding reason is of course because it's fun!
