Dan rants: Snide iMac related comments

Apple is suing a couple of computer manufacturers over iMac like designs. There's the Future Power E-Power and the eMachines eOne .

But I really don't see how these machines can be rip-offs. I mean, sure the cases are the same, but both the non-iMac machines have:

• a useable mouse with a shape that suggests orientation
• a floppy drive.
• a modem.
• RAM
• expansion slots

And, they're both cheaper. I'm not convinced that the real issue here is case color, but maybe that's just me.
