I am enjoying it.  I picked up a Coco3 at VCF-MW a few years back (a 
bundle deal with a TI 99/4A and PEB), but it sat on the shelf for almost 
a year.  I finally realized that either I needed to force myself to use 
it, or sell it.  As I wanted to learn it, I decided to do something 
hardware related, so I could learn about the machine.

As I learn more about the HW setups of the various platforms, I 
appreciate different things about each one.

Ooh, is the emulation open source?
