The “website” for Quo Computers consists of a homepage and .... that’s it. A homepage. A retail store? Oh sure.

A quote from above — “I’m hoping that Apple sees the value in what we are doing.”

Now that’s really hilarious. They obviously don’t know Apple, if they think that there is any “value” to Apple in creating cheap knock-offs on hardware that is not even tuned to the OS X operating on it.

They obviously buy into the wrong-headed thinking that you see from other journalists who think if Apple simply would “spread around” the Mac OS X software to other hardware that this would be beneficial to Apple. They don’t understand that Apple is a hardware company, who also supplies software to make their hardware very useful and valuable to use, by the consumer... LOL...

They’re a bunch of dumbos and can’t figure out what makes Apple “run”...

Why would you get it? Part of the premium cost to Apple hardware is for quality hardware.

People talk about the Apple Tax but I’ve no problem paying it if there is one. I frequently keep my Macs for several years longer than friends keep their PCs AND I then resell them at a higher value than they could get for old hardware.

So are you Apple guys going to claim that Bill Gates and/or other nefarious characters are behind this Mac maker/clone maker same as you claimed Psystar was? Maybe it wasn’t you but various Apple enthusiasts claimed here that “someone” was funding Psystar

As long as the motherboards don’t burn up, I’m good with it...

I’ve had TWO macbooks, and an Ibook Pro burn up the motherboards.

"It's exciting. We are trying to stay as close to Apple as we can with our products," Rashantha De Silva, Quo founder, told CNET News. "We are trying to mimic things as much as we can. I'm hoping that Apple sees the value in what we are doing."

Some folks just don't pay attention to the news, even in their own industry... idiots.
