I'm sure Apple is going to leave themselves wide open to being swallowed by
the clone makers in the PC world. This has got to be the last thing on Apple's
mind right now becuase they would be signing their death sentence. Do you think that they will just offer IBM a license on their ROM code or something to make
it compatible? Apple will probably do fine with their own OS on their own 
machines.
