[QUOTE="Arik Semagin, post: 115149, member: 5072"] Re: New Midas M32 Console I don't mind it at all, I mean nearly identical copies, as long as it's legal. Why invent a bicycle? CT100 tester was my best twenty bucks ever spent, I use it almost daily ($19.99 from B&H with free shipping). Don't feel like paying swiss army knife price for it, such a simple product! Just as reference, computer and office equipment industry does it on regular basis, mean making nearly identical products under their own brands, often by the same contract manufacturer. The old HP Laser Jet Series II and Canon LBP-4 are almost identical. Copier repair reference book has it clear, when they list certain model, they put "OEM" (original manufacturer) and "also known as ******(other's model numbers). I don't know how much of legality is involved, but it's very common practice. [/QUOTE]
