- The same thing that IBM & Apple do, PowerPC. I hope they build a good
- computer, since many companies will build them (IBM, Apple, ?clones?, etc.) and
- there will be a large number of OSs available (i.e. Macintosh, OS/2, Windows
- NT, ?Solaris?, ?NeXTstep?, etc.). Any ideas on PowerPC ROM?
-
- Note: Apple will pass IBM this year in unit sales. Pretty scary considering
- IBM was the personal computer market in the days of the PC.
