The current edition of the 3sat magazine "neues" addresses the retro trend and, in this connection, goes into emulators as well: "Computer systems of today and their applications are highly complex.

The program will be rerun on Monday on 3sat (7:00 and 9:45 o'clock) as well as on Tuesday on ZDF (1:50 o'clock). (snx) (Translation: cad)
