iMac Ripoff?
« on: 24 January 2004, 17:50 »
Last night I saw a commercial that showed a guy at his office working on a computer that looked like an LCD screen on a neck, like an iMac, except it wasn't nearly as good looking. I didn't see who made it, but it looked like a dell case design, but a search of their site turned up nothing. Has anyone else seen this?
Windows: 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

It could be Gateway. They always ripped off Mac's and said that Mac's are slow after they did.

I remember, a few years back, eMachines made a blatant ripoff of the iMac, and Apple sued them over it.  :D

I seem to remember a commercial back when the new generation iMacs came out that made fun of the pixar animations by showing the iMac get smashed by PCs that looked kind of like iMacs, but I don't remember what brand they were, maybe Compaq.
