Toshiba Cell Reference Motherboard

Well, I thought it was interesting. :^)

It's almost like the ol' Motorola/Apple/IBM pact that generated the
PowerPC chips. Although IIRC the promise was that there would be
PowerPC based Windows machines as well as Macs and I don't remember
that ever really happening.

It would be cool if say Sony did a line of upper end VAIO machines
based on the cell technology.

Thats right where you lost me Bliggety. That article is not interesting in
the least...even for a devoted Sony fanboy. Now a devoted anal Sony fanboy
might think its interesting.

....says the resident greasy dumb ass.  

Quite interesting, but I have to wonder what the market is for such a
device? Are software developers going to bother supporting another
platform?
