OK, here's a different thought... Several times throughout the Mac's
history, companies have come up that offered alternate machines. This was
NOT cloning, but rather they'd essentially strip the guts of an existing Mac
and remanufacture it into something new. (I'm particularly thinking of the
Outbound (?) portable. But there's a place that does conversions to make
rack-mount iMacs.) So, if anyone's looking for an entrepreneurial
opportunity... ;-)
