+    <p>
+    Snow emulates classic (Motorola 68k-based) Macintosh computers.
+    It features a graphical user interface to operate and debug the emulated machine.
+    The aim of this project is to emulate the Macintosh on a hardware-level as much as possible,
+    as opposed to emulators that patch the ROM or intercept system calls.
