Their The Amiga and the Next are not clones. Clones of any sort are developed for one purpose, to get a piece of the action from a hot item. People or companies who develop a computer because they want to create something new ( like the original Apple team ) don't make copies. That would be a contradiction. I realize that there are many of us who believe that a cheap clone of the GS would sell well. However, I believe that most smart hardware companies are going to look at the current sales rather than projected ones. bob church bchurch.oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu
