Re: TAM (was: Not a bad read....but don't take it to heart!)

This is ever so slightly off-topic but.....,I've seen what looked like 
a direct rip-off of a Twentieth Anniversary Mac in a computer shop a 
couple of years ago. Same, or at least very similar concept to a T.A.M. 
with speakers on the side of an lcd screen with integral or fold out 
keyboard with track-pad. Sounds like a 20th. Anniversary doesn't it?
  It did look quite good and initially I thought it was a Mac., at 
least to a cursory glance. I'm sure that it was Japanese and a known 
brand, possibly Fujitsu, NEC or some such, can't remember offhand.
  Anyone else seen this type of computer before (I'm in Australia) or 
used one?
   A few PC  manufacturers have tried to emulate the undoubted good 
looks and usability of the Mac., usually failing miserably!
 Just one of several that springs to mind was an iMac pseudo (pc) clone 
called e-machine that looked just a little too much like an iMac and 
Apple jumped on that quick smart,.... as they do.  ;-)

   Cheers,...Colin.
