New Mac Clone Maker 'Quo' To Open Retail Store
bughunter writes "Cnet is reporting that Mac clone maker Quo Computer plans to open its first retail location, selling Mac clones, on June 1st. To start, Quo will offer three desktop systems: the Life Q, Pro Q, and Max Q. While details of the components are not yet available, founder Rashantha De Silva said they are looking at Apple's system configurations for guidance. Pricing has also not been finalized on the desktop machines, but the company is looking to start pricing at less than $900. While Quo is starting off with the desktop machines, De Silva said it is looking at offering an Apple TV-like media server and a smaller computer similar to the Mac Mini. He acknowledges that Quo will likely face opposition from Apple, much like Psystar. 'They probably will (sue us),' De Silva said. 'There are others doing this, but we have a different attitude. There are thousands of people in the "Hackintosh" market, but many of them are creating bad products. I don't think anyone wins in that environment.'"
Instead of suing you into oblivion....
This is my Mac book,
there are many like it, but this one is mine!
Something about "retail store" sounds redundant to me.
The same is true of the environment on Mars, but you're not going to change it. People complain that the only way to get supported access to an Apple OS is on Apple hardware is to be locked into Apple. The only way to get supported access to an Apple OS on non-Apple hardware will be to be locked into these third-party vendors. The theoretical solution - and best for the consumer - is for Apple to make it easier to install OS X (or whatever) on hardware they don't control. A show of hands for those who expect that to happen anytime soon? Didn't exactly get a breeze going from all of those hands flying up, did we?
Arnold won. He brought air back to Mars!

What is the top of the line model? The "Quid Pro".
How dare you present a reasonable argument.
Sir, this is Slashdot, where you must use colloquialisms and willful blindness to advocate an extreme point of view.
You must surrender your current login/ID and reapply for a new one within 24 hours or CowboyNeal will be making a house call.
Sleep your way to a whiter smile...date a dentist!
A car? What kind of car do you speak of? My last car did cost roughly 10 times the 2400eur my MacPro did cost...
I could do with a pearlescent white Abrams...
