Second Mac Clone Maker Set To Sell, With a Twist 621

CWmike writes "Another company is preparing to sell Intel-based computers that can run Apple's Mac OS X. But unlike Psystar, a Florida clone maker that's been sued by Apple, Open Tech won't pre-install the operating system on its machines. Open Tech's Home (equipped with an Intel dual-core Pentium processor, 3GB of memory, an nVidia GeForce 8600 CT video card and a 500GB hard drive) and XT (which includes an Intel Core 2 quad-core CPU, 4GB of RAM, an nVidia GeForce 8800 video card and a 640GB drive) machines will sell for $620 and $1,200, respectively. Open Tech is prepared to do battle with Apple if it comes after Open Tech. 'We definitely would defend this,' said [Open Tech spokesman] Tom. 'The only possible case that Apple can make, the only one that has any chance, would be based on the end-user licensing agreement.'"

    One day PPC Macs started to use commodity chipset (started with G3 Macs, I think).
    Then Macs switched to x86 (Intel processors btw, makes me remember that advertisement Apple did showing a Pentium II carried by a snail).
    Soon after Boot Camp arrived, so people started to run Windows in Macs.

    Now a clone appears, called "XT"?
    What next, Macs shipping with a DB15 joystick connector?

    And, if you use an apple to apply the Apple made Apple label, you can honestly argue that the label was put there by "apple". ^_^

An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
