A Mr. Ken Flamm (sp ?) from Brookings Institution, talking on the radio
about the reported Apple/IBM discussions, said that "Apple needs IBM's RISC
technology to stay competitive". It sounds strange, since Motorola also
makes RISC chips, doesn't it? Not to mention other manufacturers.

So, is IBM that much ahead in RISC? or is the whole explanation baloney?
Just curious.
