MMmmm, I have intel and Alpha Disks and I know they played around with 
Mips but PPC is a surprise to me.  You would have thought the we hate 
IBM ethos would have been true strong in MS at that time when MS was 
technically small enough that IBM could eat them alive for all their 
past disagreements.

Jono's got quite a collection of apple hardware building up (and uses 
Windows as well! :-P ) and I seem to remember quite a few people where 
looking at iBooks to replace aging laptops when Kat got hers.  Still 
not quite the bunch of OSX users that SB lug are ;-)  I think we are 
the only ones using OSX regularly.
