1. Bernie on a fast Power Mac is reputed to run Apple IIgs software
   much faster than it runs on the fastest accelerated Apple IIgs.

2. Bernie on a PowerBook gives you a fully portable Apple IIgs.

I might get a G3 PowerBook and install Bernie on it for both the
above reasons. But if I do, will I discard my ROM 01 and ROM 3
Apple IIgs systems? I doubt it. After all, I still occasionally
use my 1980 (upgraded to 1984 technology) Apple II Plus.
