What ghastly images! Give me the Walker or the Vapor.

They were definately made by artists... not designers.  Designers solve problems, while artists create their own.

As for the thread title, I don't see enough resemblance.

Yeow! Those were ugly!

I think the Mac gets its inpiration from devices like the Mac Porsche LaCie hard disk:

LaCie ext drive

Sortof...but still not quite the same. I think that the mini was inspired by other mac products like the iPod and the cinema displays with the aluminum trim. I looked at one at CompUSA yesterday...they look a lot better to me in person.

I bought one for my wife a week or so ago.  She is completely "switched", and is madly in love with iTunes.  What is really interesting is number of her clients that see it and comment on it and want to try it out.

It really is a nice piece of kit.  And, I think it will really bring more users away from Microsoft (always  a good thing).

Apple stealing from Amiga? Come on please, the days you could steal something from Amiga are long gone.

The quest to make things smaller is going on for a long time. Apple just made a very small motherboard and put it, together with an optical drive, in the smallest case they could design.

The Nanode looks much like the mini-mac but is nano-itx based. Check www.mini-itx.com for details.

Better the Amiga community keeps its eyes peeled for steelable things  :-P (sorry I'll stop trolling here)

Given that it has no (read no) expandibility at all, not even a mac zealot could argue it was better value than the amiga one :-D
