RE: No More chance for OS/400 on Mac?

Keeping PowerPC technology in a mass market/consumer device ultimately
means reduced per-chip costs across the board.  To this end, it appears
we're essentially swapping Apple's PPC usage for the XBox360.

I was originally hoping the chips used by Xbox + Apple + a few IBM
servers would be sufficient to drive down the unit price of the CPUs,
potentially letting IBM create even cheaper entry-level i5 systems.  So
much for that.  Maybe IBM can create an entry i5 based on the xBox PPC
chip.
