Perhaps those of us interested in PPC can chip in 
some money towards a cheap Mac for Axel?

(or some other willing and able kernel dev?)

Like.. A slow G3 Blue&White.

So he doesn't get caught up in MacOS X. ;)

Pros: 
- has OpenFirmware
- easy to open/change parts
- cheap
- for keyboard, there's both USB and ADB to choose from
 (easier to get ADB off the ground than a full USB stack?)
- netboot
- upgradable

Cons:
- slow

CPU upgrade:

I've got one of these, minus the CPU upgrade, but I'm hesitent to 
parting with it. :]
