Yes, well, um, Let's not forget that dear old lisa runs at 5mhz with one wait
state due to MMU delay and has here sweet little 'ol screen mapped at a
different address than Mac. Not to mention the screaming speed which can
be obtained using a 5Meg profile. Also, it's not clear that apple talk will
work (although it should - via the 6507 controlling the serial port).

Oh yes, and it's sooooo portable.
