You can learn so much more when you can get the chance to work with real historic hardware, running historic software. If you can see the whole real machinery working, feel the keys of a real terminal or a teletype, put your fingers on a real front panel of a big computer, the whole sensory perception is much more intense than what you get when you sit infront of your shiny MacBook Air, your finger on the trackpad, listening to music on your headphones. Honestly: It’s no big deal to run decades old software on today’s laptops, but in my opinion, it’s not that much fun, and primarily it’s about fun when running old software. I don’t think emulators are that interesting, and they’re not even visually impressive. This would have been more useful if it was walking us through the emulator.
