"Intel Inside" Running Mac OS?!!



Hi, I found the following in "MACWAY digest 302" (send an email to:

interested:

This tidbit is from:

I was at the Boston Computer Museum today. They have an exhibit which is 
a giant computer, 2 stories tall. There's a 6-foot trackball, and kids 
are actually using it to play games on a giant (projection-TV) monitor 
with giant speakers. On the simulated giant CPU case, "Pentium Processor" 
and a giant "Intel Inside" logo are displayed. You walk through the 
computer, and inside are exhibits on the parts of a PC: ROM BIOS, Sound 
Card, Pentium Chip, etc.

As I was leaving, I heard a LOUD Mac startup chord. I turned around, and 
one of the guides was restarting the system. On the giant screen: MacOS.

I asked her whether she thought it was odd that the box said Intel and it 
was actually a Mac inside. She said "Oh, Intel donated the hardware. The 
Mac is just the software."
