Did you ever see the PowerPC laptop?  I don't know anything about it,
but I saw one in the hands of an IBM Zurich R&D Lab person.  Looked
just like a plain old Thinkpad, but it ran Unix and I'm 95% sure it
had a PowerPC, not an x86 processor.

Oh yes, it also had a French keyboard to mess up the rest of the
world, with the letters in the wrong place... :-)
