Does software compatibility count??

Talk about Mac compatibles, did anyone see the ad in last Sunday's(11/18/84)
New York Times Magazine for the IBM version of MacPaint. It uses
an optical mouse and looks "alot" like the apple product. Sure the
graphics layout is a little different  but the difference is insignificant.
(IBM's paint can, spray can, pencil, and pattern icons are practically 
identical to icons Apple uses in Macpaint. Not to mention the layout 
of the icons within the application itself.) 

Although IBMPaint is color, it does not offer the same resolution
as the Mac. Looks like the Boys in Blue have decided to sit up
and take note ( and pretty good notes too!!).
