John,
You are absolutely right that the clones were wonderful for the users.
My husband had a Power Computing machine that was great.
Did not work for Apple, though, marketing-wise.
Either that or the whole effort was missing a Steve Jobs something or
other.

They did do this already, didn't they, sort of, with the Mac

AFAIK the Mac clones were a much wanted machine because they were
more affordable with extra features. I still have a trusty "Power
Computing" clone that runs every day, OS9 of coarse. :-) I can see
Apple keeping the system close to the vest so that control quality
and reliability is the finest available. Every bootleg I've seen is
a hobby horse at best at the end of the day Apple walks on water in
this town.
