 __ The latest issue of _MacWorld_ has a cover story about a
  _ company named NuTek who is working on a Mac Clone.  What
    I found quite interesting (and thought this group would
    also find interesting) is the sidebar discussing NuTek's
    legal strategy for this endeavor.  It has three parts:

(1) A "blueprint" for avoiding Apple's intellectual property
    [sic].

(2) Documentation of the development effort to ensure that
    the source is all original.

(3) "Buckets of money" to be used fighting the lawsuits they
    feel Apple will inevitably pursue.

 __ The last item is of course the most intriguing.  It means,
  _ of course, that only institutions with "buckets of money"
    can attempt such an effort.  The silver lining, though,
    is that it'll keep Apple's lawyers busy and perhaps put a
    nail or two into the coffin of "look and feel."

P.S.:  James Drew has come up with a great scenario.  Apparently
    Apple will sue moviemakers for using Apple products in their
    movies without permission.  If we can somehow get Disney to
    put a Mac on the screen, we could have both Apple's and
    Disney's lawyers tied up in the courts for years!
