The pricing of clones is the reason the industry is suffering such a
nasty shakeout.  (Didn't we do this in the mid 80s???)  Many clone
dealers are making such minuscule margins on their chosen machines
that they can't afford to pay the bills at the end of the month, even
if they've sold MANY machines.  (From my perspective, this is just
fine by me!  I hope the clone market dries up and goes the way of
the dinosaur.  Which is what it is, after all...)
