Last week, in several Dutch newspapers, reports were given on a possible
liason between Apple and IBM: Apple using IBM's RISC technology (from the
RS/6000) and IBM using Apple's software.

I think Apple would go for the RS/6000 instead of the ARM for performace
reasons, but why would they ever have wanted to do anything with ARM Ltd in
the first place?
