  1)  I've also heard the same rumor but I can't seem to find out much
about what kind of "new machine" it is.

  2)  It's definitely true.  A friend of mine works at the IBM plant here
in Austin and says that the production line is going to be changed to make
way for production of "a new kind of computer".  IBM being what they are,
though, isn't telling any of the workers anything about it.
