- <p>SELF-CLONING
- </p>
- <p> IBM has long lost sales to low-cost competitors that make
- cheap PCs that work just like Big Blue's machines. The last
- straw came in June, when Compaq Computer Corp., a premium-priced
- clonemaker, came out with yet another inexpensive model. Now IBM
- is fighting back with its own set of budget machines, priced
- from about $1,100 to $2,800. They aren't the cheapest, but the
- company hopes their features will lure customers. Analysts
- predict rough times for the cloners.
