Indeed - I've done it once, but I'm sure I'm only just scraping the
surface of what is possible.

I could possibly do something on this one, depending on what you are
interested in - it used to be the area I worked in, but I stopped
being current in about 1996... :-(

As I've mentioned on IRC, something on wine/emulators in general would
be of interest, or in what situations its worth getting those "virtual
machine" things that allow you to host one OS inside another...

Cheers
