Of course, in the walks like a duck, quacks like a duck category, if AIX
ain't your thing, then just buy a S/390 with the spare million you have
lyeing around and load linux on it.  Technically not Unix, but some people
seem to think it is closer to unix than AIX.

Ever since RS/6000s went black, I've loved the look of the boxes.  And
their graphics subsystems look decent on paper.  I wouldn't mind having
such a box around, but I think getting a decent SGI or other texture
strong machine is higher on the list of boxes to pay good money for.
