What's the easiest way to get BASIC from a text file into an emulator?

So I've got some old BASIC programs from books Sinclair books and magazines, and I've OCR'ed them to simple text files. What's the easiest way to get them into an emulator on a PC? Any emulator will do, I just don't know of any that will allow you to copy and paste...

Is paying MSRP normal these days?

I'm about to purchase a K4 LXS, and so far 2 dealers won't budge off sticker price (about $25K). Is that the new normal? I haven't bought new in 15 years, but I always got at least a grand or two off sticker back then...

Anyone into retro 3D modeling?

I found an old CD-Rom labeled Syndesis Avalon and the memories came back. I bought this for over $100 (might have even been close to $200, not sure) at SIGGRAPH in New Orleans in the 90s. It's a dump of 3D files and software from the old avalon.chinalake.navy.mil archive.

In addition to the software and documents, it's got hundreds of models in loads of formats - 3D Studio, Lightwave, POV-Ray, etc. Time to see if I can get some of the old rendering software working!

Anyway, I've ripped it to archive.org if you want to take a look.

Anyone familiar with "The Theme of Amiga"? I'm trying to match the signatures.

I found this audio CD - "The Theme of Amiga" "Back For The Future". It has 4 or 5 signatures on the jewel case; the one in the lower left appears to be Daniel Schulz, the composer, but I can't match the others to any names on the liner notes. Looks like there's a "Julian" and an "Isabella" at least. Anyone familiar with this?

Anybody have one of these and make your Apple portable?

From Nibble mag Feb. 82. Supposedly the internal battery would power the Apple (and I assume the monitor) for 2 hours. I'm guessing it bypassed the internal power supply. The only thing I can find via Google is the trademark and patent, so it may have been vaporware...
