Just because? Maybe I'll just read a book instead (that IS what I bought it for, right?)

Enjoy your kindle mainframe!
Well, SIMH can emulate a fair number of different early machines.
I have used it myself to run some DataGeneral code from an earlier lifetime.

In fact we mentioned it in passing when talking about running some of the 'historic' games usually available on the DEC systems.

But this one seemed more fun to do.
We do, do these things for the fun of it.

That had better be our reason anyway -
We aren't going to win any "most downloaded" set of KUAL buttons for this one!
Running VM/370 on a Kindle at the press of a button?
There must be some bragging rights in that one, at least.
