If you go to Apple's website and click on "Hot News" right now, one of the headings is "Recession Bright Spots." It takes you to a story about the economy, IT fields, and more importantly, Comdex 2002. There is a paragraph in it that says:
"...IBM marked down key elements of its software product line, restoring simple, one-price licensing for companies with fewer than 1,000 employees. IBM has slashed prices for new Unix systems based on the 64-bit Power CPU (hello, Moto?)..."
I'm not sure how or if this relates to Apple, but with the current rumble about a new chip that may one day be installed in future Power Macs, it could be good information.
