	Just to hijack this thread, this makes me wonder if PCs are getting  
old enough that it is time for someone to come out with a vintage  
machine meant just to run older games and such. I have fond memories  
of a few old DOS based games, and what if there was a cheap, itty- 
bitty system-on-a-chip that had everything that was needed, e.g like  
the Atari mini-systems that have come out...

	Of course, perhaps the best solution is to use something like  
VMware? Can it emulate the right set of video cards, etc.? Maybe Bochs?
