what's the difference between simulator and emulator?

[afon]

I've just d/l a simulator, could anyone tell me the difference between simulator and emulator?

The Palm OS Simulator runs a copy of OS5 natively on your PC without the need of a rom.
An Emulator pretends to be a Palmtop, making a Rom neccesary

You've got to be kidding.  A UN Resolution against the US for violating the UN Charter?  What about Iraq that has been violating numerous resolutions for more than a decade?  Do you realize that in the history of the UN, the ONLY country to EVER seek UN approval for milatary action is he UNITED STATES.  I don't remember your buddies the French asking for UN permission to invade Afganistan, or Iraq's permission to invade Kuwait?  Let's not conveniently forget that, in none of the US's prior military involvments, has the US attempted to conquer or otherwise occupy a foriegn land.  I am so tired of the US being there to help every other country in its time of need and never receiving the support of its fellow global citizens when it needs aid.  By the way, unless you haven't been watching TV, the US military has been doing exactly what we have said we would be doing: liberating Iraq.  Have you just decided to ignore that the Iraqi people WANT us there to remove the tyrant dictator that does harm to his own people?  Have you seen the Iraqi's warm reception for the US Soldiers?  Have you seen how careful the US has been to avoid civilian targets and how precise the strikes have been?  Have you seen the efforts and humanitarian steps the US military has taken to allow the peaceful surrender of Iraqi soldiers.  Nobody likes war; but sometimes it is unavoidable and I think the US deserves commendation for the manner in which it is handling the liberation of Iraq. 

I know that Cliesource is not supposed to be about politics, and I've never posted a political response before, but if this guy/gal is going to include such an ill-informed, naive statement in his/her signature, then I had to respond with the FACTS!

Just use the simulator unless you want to "emulate" with different handheld models but finding ROMs for CLIE's are quite difficult :(

If you can find them, please tell me.

i'm looking for the TG-50 and the NX roms for the emulator. thx.
although the simulator is much convenient, it doesn't have the export function. i think the emulator is much suitable for me.

It is probably a little early for a TG50 ROM since it was just released. :mad:
