The Power PC does rock.  You'd pry my RS/6000s from my cool
semi-lifeless hands.  

So can I run AIX on the X Box now?  That would be cool,  a $2,400 OS on
a $199 box!  I can see it now, a shiny MicroFocus COBOL application
reindexing an ISAM file right there on my big screen TV......  (Well, it
would still be better than most of the crap on during prime time).
