- <p>If it looks like a Mac and acts like a Mac, is it a rip-off?
- </p>
- <p> Until now, no one has been able to duplicate Apple's popular
- Macintosh computer--at least not legally. NuTek, a U.S.
- subsidiary of a company based in the Netherlands Antilles,
- unveiled a computer that, the firm claims, can run both Mac and
- IBM software without violating any copyrights. NuTek says its
- DUET computer, along with an operating system that NuTek plans
- to market separately, is a completely new system that enables
- the machine to perform just like the user-friendly Mac.
- Available in two months, the DUET is expected to retail for
- about $3,000. Says an Apple spokesman: "We don't believe that
- it's possible to create a clone of a Macintosh without violating
- Apple's intellectual property rights."
