What benefits of having a PC - crashing every 3 seconds? :)

I find it hard to imagine that anybody will seriously use BBC s/w over s/w for
other machines (Arc/RPC/Unix etc.) The only people I know who seriously use BBC
s/w are educational places esp. schools, and they are mostly turning to newer
s/w with Beeb importers. The majority of uses for Beeb emulators seem to be the
beeb diehards who want to run their old games on... (this is what *I* use my
Beeb Emulator for :)
