Um, how can you say clones are killing Apple when Apple makes money for 
nothing on 'em due to licensing? This is a good way for MacOS to make inroads
into the wintel market and pry people away from evil Microsoft. I like it.
I'll continue to buy real Apple myself because all the clones look like
cheesy, thrown together peices of crap like your average PC. Apple has always
made the best looking and engineered boxes on the market.

I'm a little behind the times since I spent so long in Mississippi, where the
locals know nothing about Apple hardware and have never seen a laserdisc
either. So I'm not too up on this Be stuff but I did see that our good friend
Jean-Louis Gassee is behind it.
