I can't speak for Anne, but in a recent conversation with someone in the
know (first initial 'F' last initial 'S') it was stated that there was(is) a
"laptop" in Rochester running OS/400. This laptop has a Power chip, not
Intel, but isn't theory, it's been built. However, the above named
individual was never able to present a REAL business case to management to
move it into production. By "real" I don't mean several dozen midrange-l
people saying "I'll buy one" but enough solid dependable interest for IBM to
see a return on investment.
