>>>"The IBM clone market is saying, "We may SAY we are XYZ Computer but it's really an IBM in there AND we are several times cheaper! This isn't what the IBM clone market is doing at all. " That's not what John said… he was reffering to OEM deals. In an OEM deal, a company purchases an exisiting product and adds their own functionality to the product, creating a 'new' product taht can be marketed by a VAR (value-added-reseller). Such products DO command a premium (deservedly so). NewTek is not selling an Amiga clone…. they are selling a Value Added Amiga based video workstation.
