The oldest emulated architecture?

The Z-Machine is the notional hardware that runs Zork and all the other Infocom text adventures, as well as thousands of interactive fiction games written since that time. There's never been a commercial hardware implementation, that I know of. (Some student projects, I think.)

There's a project to write a Z-Machine emulator for Android; there's already such an emulator for iPhone and PalmOS. ( http://code.google.com/p/twisty )

Is this the oldest architecture that still has people writing and running emulators?

Hi Dad, it's workable church. Marie John, I just want to let you know that I think we're all set for 2 o'clock meeting is 54%. So hope you get this message. Thanks.

And I just wanted to make this is Dorothy and he's tried to call you another crisis the office some things down with your service. I guess just season. He wants you to call him. 51.


"workable church" in the first one is somebody's name. "Marie John" is apparently "from Arisia". The 54% is bogus, too.

In the second message, "And I" and "and he" are both renditions of the name of my minion. The grammar was better in the original, too.
