In both cases a Macintosh is needed for the machine to be a Mactintosh
compatible.  Outbound merely goes to the trouble of obtaining a
Macintosh for their machine so the user doesn't have to.

I perhaps should have written "Mactintosh compatible computer that
doesn't need a special peice of hardware (firmware) that only Apple
makes and that they really don't want to sell without a computer
wrapped around it".

After I wrote that message I've been told that the Liken Macintosh
emulator for Suns is usable, all software, and isn't in imminent
danger of being sued/bought out by Apple.  I hope this trend continues.
