I can think of one reason: testing (or debugging) programs without
having to link to the calculator, send the file, and making sure there
is enough memory on the calculator for the program (28K runs out awful
fast).
I agree that's it's not a big deal, and I don't think that the emulator
was ever supposed to be a big deal (those of you who made it could
correct me if I'm wrong here), but it could come in useful occasionally.

Boy, and I thought my math BOOKS were heavy... :-)
Hope this helps!
