Yeah, but it's not the real thing, Jochen.  The 180 runs essentially 
6600 emulation with very different timings .  DIfferent peripherals 
and hardware implementation; the experience just isn't the same.  One 
might as well run an emulator on a PC.

Running a 6600 "every Saturday" would have been an insane  
proposition, given the the effort it took to get the thing powered  
up.

Thanks,
