Even funnier is that with the open sourcing of PowerPC (and therefore steadily declining prices, soon in hobbyist range?), the IBM architecture might soon be one of those that "Think Different !" (And I'm willing to bet that we won't see a PowerPC Macintosh for a while...)
Apparently, Think was once an IBM motto, leading to someone turning it into "Think... or thwim" according to an urban legend.
