The price is NOT free as it requires the purchase of a game console with
a Micro$oft logo.  I'd be much more inclined to want to try and, perhaps,
even use it if I could run it on something other than a Weendoze toybox.

As you know, I recently played around with SimH VAX on both Linux and OSX.
I would love to be able to run a SimH Alpha on the same.  I might even be
persuaded to make a contribution to the bottom line of these Charon-Alpha
people if it could be made to run under Linux or OS X.
