To the best of my knowledge, they have dropped those sillinesses. There
would still be plenty of problems since the machines are still intended
to use minimal memory and to sleep as much as possible so as to provide
decent battery life. I know a good Smalltalk could be made for them,
after all they're just the latest incarnation of the Active Book
hardware with still more memory and speed.
