If you want to stay fluid with using simh, it's probably better to just install simh on a machine and run it.
No doubt, but I think the point is that there are a lot of cheap (in many cases, $10 or less), lower-power machines on which you can run simh at better-than-real performance. I run simh on my server, but not generally continuously because it tends to take 100% CPU, which means a few tens of watts of difference (which is not huge, but still). If I want to burn some power, I'll turn on my real 11/44. :-) - Dave
