And who cares if the machine has an Apple or > PowerComputing logo on it? Both make very high quality machines. I was not commenting on the quality, per se, of clones. I prefer clones. There ARE those who are strongly, emotionally Apple-philes who may not like the fact that they will likely not be able to purchase a machine with an apple on it and they will have to "settle" for a clone. The end fact is, however, that a clone is NOT an Apple and the machine is not a Mac. The only thing that it will have in common will be the preferred processor, to a large extent, and if one so chooses, the OS (maybe).
