won't happen.  Apple is stupid.  Gateway wanted to start making
powerpc clones.  Apple decided no, because they didn't want someone
to start competing with them for parts.

Sure, apple is apparently suffering from not having enough components
available, but with more buyers (ie gateway) it would only encourage
more people to make mac components.

So, world, is apple interested in developing a clone market?
Answer: No!  They turned down gateway.
