>If Microsoft's Altair BASIC was not the first microcomputer program developed using an emulator, what was?
Why not just use good marketting practice and say "MicroSoft's Altair BASIC was the first microcomuter program developed using an emulator by two people named Gates and Allen" - then you could be sure of being right. This is beginning to sound like a publicity stunt.
Will stick by Colossis being the first computer to use emulation - for that matter, what is an abacus ? Have always liked the example of a refrigerator door light as having all of the elements necessary to be a digital computer.
Warmly,
Padgett
