Re: Saw a wierd II clone... is it worth the effort to get it?

[Alan Tuttle <news001@macgeek.org>]

I don't know what this particular clone came from. There's many
different clones of the Apple II+/IIe out there in La-La land. Some of
them are collectable, some aren't. It depends solely on you.

For me, something like a Japple (from Japan), Krapple (from Korea), and
other foreign clones don't interest me that much. What would really
interest me is the major clones, such as the Basis 108 or the Franklin
Ace line (I currently own a Franklin Ace 1200). I'm also interested in
the Laser clones, but not as much as the other two.
