- Like a poor archer you just keep on missing the target. You'll

- There are only a few clone dealers out there. Less than 10! I'm
- not including those who sell cheap imports. Or those who also sell others
- platforms. And I am excluding those whose name began with A-Y, real
- store names begin with Z! The IBM is dead because there are less than 10
- stores that sell it.
