<strong>OK, moki, you got me convinced. OSX without the main Apps is nothing, and indeed I hadn't thought about the endian issue this way.

I think I got it. Which chip was it that's codename was V'Ger? V'Ger because of a Star Trek episode where Voyager went so fast it got lost somewhere, and when they found it back, on the letters V, G, E, R were left on it. I seem to recall there was a chip (G4? G4+? G5?) which had this codename because it was much, much faster...

Holy shit! I never thought about that! That would be a cool reference.

You're not putting a computer in your car? I think I will.
My guess: Apple + Honda == Happy (of course a name like that would work in Japan but not in the US or Europe...) a car designed to look like an iMac and connect with your iPod.
<edit: I can't believe I participated in this thread>
Don't forget the old rumor that Apple had hired Majel Barret (Gene Rodenberry's wife), you know the voice of the Enterprise's computer, to be the voice of Mac OS X when it finally got the upgraded SPEECH components!!
Shit, the minutes till Macworld are getting more and more nasty. How about some time travelling till twenty minutes before Macworld, that gives you time to get some popcorn and a beer.
Ouch!!!! Can you get burned any worse than that!!! I bet it's Steve checking the rumor sites just loving every minute of it, laughing his butt off at some of the sh!t that's starting to fly.
How would you like to be totally discredited for the whole world to see by Apple, not that SpyMac had any credibility with me anyways, but there were people buying into it (must not have seen the 1st iWalk "mockup").

This adds nothing, but I found it funny.

When did the classic Mac OS run on x86 hardware? To my knowledge, this was never made public.

It was my undersanding that they tried internally and never got it to work right... So they failed and just scrapped it (until now?). No?
