Well, if the hardware doesn't support it, how is the software supposed 
to offer that feature? Let's be realistic here. Given the available 
hardware, the software did almost everything you could expect of it. 
There's only a few things it could have provided but didn't. (Like 
multiple users and security. Or a real network stack.)
