The legal battle between Macintosh clone maker PsyStar and Apple is still being waged, but it appears that the two companies are going to do what some of us had already predicted: settle the whole thing out of court.

SReilly,
All the options may not have been cheap, but I feel I was correct in saying there was more choice.
Amiga and Atari produced better hardware and got market share as a result
If a company were to release a new platform today, it would barly have a chance.
The choice is gone, but the benefit of the monoply is cheap commodity hardware
Do you prefer choice or cheap?

the commodores and atari's of the world, couldn't compete with IBM, and are now gone. WE made that choice, as people started buying PCs and let the other contenders fall to the wayside. Mismanagement of Atari and Commodore, didn't help either. Market forces took those choices away from you.

I disagree.
We now have little (to no) choice as there is ONLY the IBM compatible on the market now for desktop use
How many people here honestly have the choice of sparc/PPC/Cell?
Before 'IBM compatible' became the gold standard was when we REALLY had choice in hardware
