I usually keep quite quiet but I've got to disagree with the above.
Firstly, in my own case, it was re-discovering MSX through the emulators
that prompted me to go out and buy one again.
But other than than, I think the reverse of the above is true. The
emulation scene doesn't lower the number of real users, it adds to the
number of users (real or otherwise).

Surely the reason most people would buy the PC is because they believe,
at that time, they prefer to run PC software. I think there are few
people who buy a PC with the real intention of continuing to use their
MSX on a regular basis. If these people then re-discover MSX through an
emulator, or continue to use good MSX software via an emulator then it's
keeping the MSX scene alive. So to all the emulator users who feel they
get a rough deal from real MSXers : Thanks helping prolong the life of
MSX.
Peter.
