I've always gotten the exact opposite reaction of what chuck is saying.
Actually way way back in 9th grade in the beginning of the year no one knew what it was and all begged to play mine at lunch. By the end of the year 5 other people at the lunch table all had their own. Of course back then they werent even really PPCs, they ever the old CE Palm-Sized. Mine was an Everex Freestyle then later in the year a Nino 500. Two other kids got Compaq Aeros, and a few got HPCs.
Each year after that though the effect got less and less cause more and more people knew what it was. Last year though everyone loved it again cause of the emulators, I guess there was a big eumlation fad or something cause everyone in the school kept playing NES on the desktops every chance they got and were so shocked that I could do it on the PPC
