- The Performas don't have FPUs -> can't run A/UX. A few drivers would
- probably also have to be re-written, and since the Performas aren't
- slanted towards government, that'll probably never happen. Just look
- at the PowerBook 170; A measly screen driver is all that's needed,
- and wouldn't it have been cool to have an X11/System7/UNIX laptop?
- But still no go :-(
