Apple Nearly Moved to SPARC: "taskforce writes 'Sun Microsystems Co-Founder Bill Joy claims that Apple nearly moved to Sun's SPARC chips instead of IBM's PPC platform, back in the mid-1990s. From the article: 'We got very close to having Apple use Sparc. That almost happened,' Joy said at a panel discussion featuring reminiscences by Sun's four cofounders at the Computer History Museum. An account of his entire presentation can be found on Cnet.'"
