I find it interesting that Gateway walked. If they were really interested in 
selling Mac clones they would wait for the end of the parts shortage.

Either they weren't really that interested at all, or something else
happened that we don't know about.

Hmmm... Compaq's VP uses a Mac, maybe we'll see Mac clones from them, now 
that'd be an interesting situation. (unlikely, but interesting)

Cheers,
Kevin.
