    HA! Had Apple licensed it's hardware out to the clone market, Microsoft JM>> probably would have had some serious competition!!

    They did do one didn't they? Something called the Franklin back in like JM>> 85?

    They also had the Laser 128 (which was a clone of the Apple //c). I
    had many friends that had them years ago.

    Laser also made a clone of the PC that looked just like the apple. It was a Tank. It was my first computer that ran a BBS.

    Kinda like how I gave away an Amiga 2000 with about 200 software
    packages and the Video Toaster built into it...

    wow the video toaster was ahead of its time back in the late 80s/early 90s. I remember how it used to do very good special effects back in the early 90s in that Nickelodeon game show about video games. Nick Arcade

    I gave mine away too... if I remember correctly they used it to render some of the effects on Babylon 5.
