| Todd | Re:Mac Clonelol Apple would sue if someone copied the dust on an iMac.
Brandon, read up on the UMAX Mac clones. They were better than the Macs so Apple hated them and cut their license to make them. | 2008-07-19 | 1:45 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Mac CloneNot better Cheaper. And they nigs that ran Apple while Steve Jobs was gone started cloning programs. As soon as he got back he got rid of them. They were loosing money and market share like crazy. | 2008-07-19 | 2:40 PM |
| Todd | Re:Mac CloneYeah that's basically what I was told. They were more popular than Macs at the time. | 2008-07-19 | 3:15 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Mac CloneFrom Wikipedia: [quote] UMAX was formerly a maker of Apple Macintosh clones, using the SuperMac brand name outside of Europe. Some of their models included the SuperMac S900/S910, J700, C500 and C500e/i/LT, C600e/v/LT/x and Aegis 200. The C500 was marketed as the Apus 2000 in Europe. After Steve Jobs returned to Apple as the new CEO, he revoked all of the clone producers' licenses to produce Mac clones except for UMAX[1] due to their sub-$1000 low-end offerings, a market Apple was not strong in, and UMAX' stated desire to expand the Macintosh platform's presence in East Asian markets. UMAX could not remain profitable selling only these systems however, and briefly made IBM PC compatible computers[2] but since then UMAX have mainly concentrated on manufacturing scanners. [/quote]
Like I said they were cheap. | 2008-07-19 | 3:27 PM |
