Well, not to be the one to mention it... but I read this rumor
that Tandy ( of all people ) were working on building a Mac
clone. Sure would be interesting ( price - wise ) if they were in
fact working on one. I really can't remember where I read this -
but I'm sure that one of the many computer rags printed the rumor
- I read a lot of them.

Now, I don't wish Apple bad - but I would like to see a little
more competition in the Mac market. Has everybody noticed how
CHEAP winchesters are for PC's?? I wouldnm't mind if some of that
'cheap' filtered it's way to the Mac. I can't see paying over $1K
dollars for a SLOW 20 meg drive - or about $1500 for a REALLY
SLOW SCSI tape drive.

I love the computer that Apple made ( Mac ) , I'm just not crazy
about the very non-competitive pricing??
