Michael Gartenberg from Jupiter Research has a nice post, on his blog, about this little gem, based on the Tiffany song, about the great Mac clone debacle. The words include:
I think we're a clone now. There's always Michael Dell just 'a hanging around I think we're a clone now. The crash of Intel's stock is the only sound.
Look at the way, PowerPC keeps getting faster What can Intel say, They're struck with CISC and so we're Licensing as fast as we can, Trying to obey that Spindler plan. Meeting with OEMs into the night and then we whisper words like "Gates" and "Grove" and they take out their wallet and I say
and later...
I think we're a clone now, Pentiums will only sell with a big discount I think we're a clone now, Intel's lost track of P6's transistor count I think we're a clone now, There doesn't seem to Jean Louis around I think we're a clone now, Cause every bit of code is a hand me down I think we're a clone now, The Power Macintosh has the benchmark crown I think we're a clone now, The heat of Pentium warms a mid sized town I think we're a clone now and Apple inventory's finally going down
Comment: It's always funny after Apple has spent years rubbishing another company -- IBM, Microsoft, Intel -- when they end up turning to that same company to get them out of a hole.
