If you aren’t excited yet, let’s get a few more details. The company is OpenTech. It’s been in business for three weeks. It makes “Mac-compatible” computers, but does not ship them with OS X, unlike Psystar. The company, which has a freely hosted, shoddily put together website, is now offering itself for sale for a mere $50,000, payable by PayPal, trade secrets and all. Whatever trade secrets those might be.
When you pay them $50,000, you get “… the Open Tech name, the website, the trade secrets (including The Open Tech Home & XT Blueprints and future model blueprints), press contacts, and 1 Open Tech Home Model and 1 Open Tech XT model with the OS of your choice all in one package. If you decide to purchase Open Tech, all this information will be e-mailed to you and the computers will be sent to you after the purchase.”
I don’t know why anyone would purchase this, as all that can be done with the company is closing it, but I’d like to see someone take it anyway.
