Einstein needs only a very minimal interface to the underlying GUI  
because Newton OS manages all graphics IO in software (and via a  
minimal driver). So, yes, I am sure that Einstein will run on any  
machine that has a pen and puts the requied amount of pixels on a  
screen.

Speed is an entirely different issue... .
