Of Apples and Clones
The emergence of an Apple clone was a surprise to many for the term “clone” was normally associated with the standard PC or the IBM clones as they were called during the times of old. Apple was a bit surprised but they didn’t do anything much but raise a brow but they do send in the legal guys. The company that released the so-called Mac Clone if it deserves that name is PayStar but many have been unimpressed with reviews of their evaluation pc’s. They work fine but many reviews say the darned thing is just too noisy. The installer of the OS which is said to be OSX comes without the usual shrink wrapping and it does not boot as said in the accompanying brochure. Legally, I don’t think Apple likes the idea of a clone but I don’t think they’re bothered much by it due to many reasons, quality for one and many other technical issues that have to be addressed before any clone for the MAC can truly take a bite of the small percentage of MAC users.
