Considering the success all the IBM-PC Clone makers have had over the past 
years, some friends and I were wondering why the same hasn't been done for the 
Macintosh series.  Is the hardware significantly more expensive for 
clone-makers to get a hold of, is the hardware more difficult to "emulate/copy" 
or is it political?

Just wondering..
