Is there any reference in the packaging or literature to
GI Interactive? A few years ago I won a promotional set on Ebay for Dell

I find this funny on a couple fronts: In the early days of PCs, IBM computers
were considered the “real thing” while all others were clones. Why would IBM
choose a clone brick?

Well, LEGO has repeatedly cloned the clone, so both companies are guilty!
Thanks very much for this information!
Dave!
