    Go for it!  We want to have both the fastest *and* slowest
hardware on the planet working for us.  :)  There's no real practical
reason for this, other than the "cool" factor, as you mentioned.  :)
We already have a pathetic Sun 3/60 in there, but I want to see a
client running on a TCP/IP-capable Newton or Pilot, or in Minix
installed in a virtual DOS machine on a slow Sparc, or perhaps an
Apple II version (if one becomes available) running in the A2 emulator
running in the Executor Macintosh emulator running under Linux
emulation on a 386sx/16 running FreeBSD.  ;-)
