 I remember that time, trhere were several Taiwan-made Apple clones
 with fruit names.

 I also remember a story of someone in the UK that ordered Apple clones
 from Taiwan (There was, I think, a legal thing that such clones could
 be made in Taiwan, actually Mainland China, without legal problems)
 so one of the UK people flew to Taiwan to make sure the specs were
 right. He was asked what colour the machine was to be made in, and said
 'beige', so the Taiwanese person went to his books, took down one
 volume about 6'' thick, and said, "Which Shade"



Hey, thats almost 40 years ago.
