I see. Personally, I wouldn't consider the simulator a to be a valid alternative to the "real thing".
I would miss the hard buttons, the sim window cannot be made full screen and at least with John's mod, it draws a lot of CPU cycles (my laptop fan speeds up almost instantly - I'm running PEP inside a VM, though, so it might not be that much of a deal on a physical machine).
Anyway, I guess there would have been people that would've taken the "free Pronto" approach, so I'll accept that ;)
