does this mean i won't be able to play mp3's, even with the mad player
which uses integer math only? this is really the only cpu intensive task i
will be running. by the way one of my netbsd boxes is a 16 mhz 68030 mac
without fpu, so i'm fairly used to not having much speed. :-)

you might be right, but apart from the size the battery life and the silent
operation makes me want to give this a try, not to mention how cool it is
to follow and perhaps even contribute to the kernel development on a more
mysterious and "immature" architechture. i'll start scanning ebay right
away.

thanks again,
