Kris,
   Buying an emulator of a product does not give your any rights to the original
product. If you own a clone of Lotus 1-2-3, then you should have permission
to use Lotus. (I don't think so.) And yes, Apple is paranoid about their products.
That is one of the reason we don't  see Macintosh clones. When Nutek releases
their ROMs for the Macintosh, we should have a fun price-war for Macintoshes.
And we can watch Apple's profit share plummet .
