I've used enough emulators both personally and professionally that it 
doesn't worry me.  Besides, what do you think the Classic mode in Mac 
OS X 10.4 and earlier is?  It's an emulation layer.  The only 
difference is in how well integrated it is.  Functionally with 
something like Basilisk II is the same as running on real hardware to 
the Operating System.

My wife has claimed it.  I'm not sure why she wants it, she has a 
faster Intel-based MacBook, and I don't think she really cares about 
the fact it has more RAM.
