but then again the C=128 also looked like the a1000. So maybe its just a coincidence.

Same coincidence all smart phones look similar. Somtimes form just follows function - be it Bauhaus, a computer case or a phone. But some certain company tries to ruin all others who do similar things they do...

Yep, Apple is realy fond of suing other companies.
And the funny thing is Jobs got his ideas from Xerox PARC.
"Not making any hard and fast rules means that the moderators can use their good judgment in moderation, and we think the results speak for themselves." - Amiga.org, terms of service

"You, got to stem the evil tide, and keep it on the the inside" - Rogers Waters

Amiga! "Our appeal has become more selective"

Apple does not innovate it only sues and copies other peoples ideas.
 
The only things Apple are good at
 
> Marketing
> Overpricing their products
> Ensuring their products are obsolete within a short period
 
If only Commodore and Atari management resisted the urge to price everything at fire sale prices (compared the Apple/IBM equivalent at the time) both would have still existed today.
Too many A500s
2x A1200 (3.1 DKB Cobra inc. Ferret)
A2000 HD
