It's simple grasshopper
To know the truth about HP and the tails of an emulator. It all started back with the Big Bad "Wolf" and the changing of the guard from Winston. The Emulator theory will never happen.
I think it all started when Winston first lied to the 3000 community back in September 2001 and his lips were moving but they were all lies.
So , that said.... How can you tell when a rep from HP is lying?
His / Her LIPS are moving...
The emulator will never happen
