NC only accelerates floating point calculations, so only programs which
use floating point mathematics are sped up, for example AppleWorks GS,
Quick Click Calc, Symbolics, MathGraphics etc.
The basic calculations are sped up about five times, trigonometric,
exponential or hyperbolic functions are about 40 times faster.
It would be nice if this attracts anyone... :)

I don't know, I think a month?! I'll ask him.
