Bzzt! Wrong answer. Apple has sold for two years now a couple of
PowerPC based servers running AIX 4.1. They're dropping them now in
favor of NextStep^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^hRhapsody.
*Never* understimate how fickle this industry is -- imagine Apple
selling *UNIX* systems, and from *IBM* no less. I guess this is "the
enemy of my enemy (M$) is my friend" theory at work.
I really love this Apple/Next merger - Apple is now essentially a UNIX
workstation vendor! ;^)
