I believe that the EQ2s actually cost more than the real version. Seattle had real Qs on its rigs for many years, up until the late 80's. They began to experience problems with their mobile data computers. Every time the Q was cycled, the computers would restart because their power supply would basically go away. It might have been poorly designed wiring, but the end result was that all of the Qs were taken off the rigs. Problem solved -- the computers then worked fine. So in this case, it's not just a lame excuse.
