  Thought #1 - Is Apple going to let them do this?  They can build all the
hardware they want, but Apple still owns the copyright for the Apple ][
firmware.  Unless Apple goes along with it, they aren't going to be able to
(legally, that is) duplicate the ROM contents or use any of the Apple owned
software.

  Thought #2 - They want somebody to write a web browser for an Apple ][
????  A TCP/IP stack I can see, but a whole browser?  Unless they're
thinking about using Lynx, I suspect not.
