I'll echo this sentiment. Nothing is as convincing is watching actual 
hardware do actual work. Simulated environments definitely have their place 
but at the end of the day I'd want to see a real machine running my code. In 
particular there are often hidden issues that don't appear until you try to 
run on real hardware (or issues that only appear in simulation that just end 
up being distracting). Certainly someone interested in real time behavior 
will want to see how things work on a real machine.
