 Finally?  It was bridged a long time ago with A/UX. 
The last release os A/UX was 1994 or so (I have it), it wasn't that long
ago. 
 That was about ten years ago, which is about half the lifetime of the Mac.

 The first release of A/UX was released about fourteen years ago (1988).

 I'd call that a long time ago compared to OS X and the age of the Mac
 itself.

 It wasn't that long ago to completely forget about it was what I was
 referring to. 
I see what you mean.  Yes, I agree that it wasn't so long that people should
have forgot about it already.

...
  Anyway I don't think it ran on a laptop well (or
even at all). 
That's true, it wouldn't run on any of the laptops.
