Well.... There *was* one called "EmuQ", but Verant very thoroughly quashed
it. They are aggressivley pursuing the rights to their software. *sigh*
So when Verant, etc. go under, and the last server comes down, we can nail
our EQ disks to the wall, right next to the AOL disks, as "useless decorations"

It's funny, because games I bought 10 years ago, I can still (and do still)
play... but games coming out nowadays have a definite lifespan to them...

Oh well.
