[kictanet] Taifa Laptop

[Ahmed Mohamed Maawy]

I think if people thought Mobius was ugly then it would not have sold out
its units recently.

What is good and what makes sense will eventually sell itself off. And
Mobius did not need to do aggressive marketing. It just sold itself off.

Perhaps Mobius should be a case study for Taifa folks.
