I remember when Apple had clones. I even owned a used PowerComputing tower and they were truly awesome computers. To be honest that was the first computer I ever owned and got rid of before it became so slow that I cursed at it. Now, I actually own an Apple PowerBook G4 and can’t stand how slow and stupid it has become or always was. Why does Flash have so many problems with these computers?
Apple killed their clones because amazingly despite how faithful/defensive Apple fans pretend to be, they’re just as willing to sell out. So enough Apple buyers stopped buying Apple’s, overpriced at the time, computers to make them regret licensing.
I’d love to see computers sold with a variety of operating systems installed but that’s apparently way ahead of it’s time. Oh and I actually meant sold with, as in one computer with multiple operating systems. It sounds weird but with todays virtualization tools it shouldn’t be too hard to do.
