1> There is a C64 emulator for palm, so now all my time to kill between meetings, in the bathtub, etc can be worthwhile playing U4 & U5 the way they are supposed to be played - using the C64 engine
Can be found at http://frodopalm.sourceforge.net
2> There is a sourceforge project to get U5 playable on todays computers, and if it's anything like the U4 project it should be a winner. This is especially important for me since U5 is the only Ultima I never finished.
Can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nu5/
BTW: keep up the good work on U7 & SI - let other people work on U5
