Don, I have no problem with a company that tries to compete. I'm just pointing out that the last 2 companies that tried to produce blatant copies of Apple's design lost in court. Apple has learned since the MS theft. From that article I mentioned: Take the case of Future Power, a company slapped with an injunction after producing a suspiciously iMac-esque computer called the E-Power in July of 1999. After two and a half years in court, it was agreed that the injunction, which prohibits the marketing of that machine, would remain in place until Feb. 1, 2004. Apple also sued to force PC maker eMachines from producing the eOne, another PC that looked similar to the iMac.
