<<IBM was thinking of buying Sun. Anyone have any clue of why that might have something to do with Apple.>> Sun's Sparq and Solaris stations are high-end niche products for graphics and internet stuff. This is a niche that overlaps into Apple's G3 machines that some speculate the G3 can dominate. If IBM buys and supports Sun's technology, perhaps enhancing it with G3 technology, this could take away income that Apple was poised to get with future high-end G3 development. That's my take on it. This may mean that IBM is drifting away from Apple as a PowerPC partner. However, I do not see any real evidence to this. -Bill_H
