I can see it now: Quake/400. Instead of blinking red text when someone
makes a mistake, a demonic beast bursts through the screen and shoots
fireballs at the garbage that was just entered. You'd obviously need a
force feedback keyboard and killer speakers to get the full effect but
it would be awesome.

PS - You can read a blurb about this (the mainframe part, not Quake/400)

I read in the Business section of this morning's paper that IBM was
going to start putting the PS3 chip on "mainframes." No specifics as
top what mainframes meant, could be just the zSeries, could include the
i and, even, p.


The PS3 chip is the one that IBM and Sony developed for kick butt
graphics on the Playstation. Not being a double E myself, I'm not sure
what the actual implications for the UI on the System i5 might be. But
with the myriad of assaults (under the radar for the most part) by IBM
on M$ turf, I wouldn't be surprised if this was another one in some form

or fashion.


Or maybe it's just a graphics card.
