You were saying ...

Sure hope they're good at doing their own servicing... 'cause if they take it to a PC shop and it's got OS-X on it, nobody in their right mind will touch it.

Well..., this is how it will work for those 700-some idiots who bought these boxes...

They will be the ones who will post on forums and boards that they'll never buy another Apple product again, because Apple refused to help them, even though they bought a brand new computer -- and besides that, the product was crappy anyway, and they can't figure out why anyone buys crappy Apple products when they're this bad... LOL...

Some people are just idiots and those who bought anything from Psycho-star are classified as idiots.

Well, "idiots" is IMO not quite fair -- a high percentage are savvy geeks who knew the risk and took it to get an "open" machine that promised greater access and control. That's not idiotic at all -- I use Linux on my servers for the same reason.

Probably those geeks are not disappointed today -- they can service the machines themselves, just as I do with my Linux boxes. They can't upgrade the OS, but hey, I have lots of machines with 5-yr old OS software on them, running just fine.

But given the high likelihood of Psystar getting blown out of the water (just as occurred), I would say "suckers" is closer to the mark for all the rest of the non-geek Psystar customers, who are now high and dry.
