You'd be surprised.  I've had all sorts of e-mail since posting the
pre-alpha version of my beeb emulator.  I'd say that there are quite
a number of people who would be interested in having some sort of
emulator which could run all the software that they're still running
on genuine kit, but without the hassle of keeping that still working
and with the additional benefit of having a UNIX/Mac/PC/whatever.
