More HW from OpenMoko

[Rodolphe Ortalo]

Maybe you have to take into account the fact that computations could
probably run for much longer on the 11/780 than what could be possible
on a battery-powered FreeRunner.

But well, as far as I remember, it was also pretty difficult to get the
the Vax 11/780 into one's pocket. ;-)
