I'm sure it will, as my old 386 PC already does.
The reference to CPW was not intended to confuse
only to demonstrate that the $200+++ price the
original poster mentioned was mainly interactive tax.
If we remove interactive from the equation, we have
to compare $11K for a base OS/400 270 system with
no other software and a $7K Mac fully loaded.
