I've always been amused at the computer world's efforts to patent "look and feel." In other markets, this isn't a problem. Yeah, those Korean knock-offs of Guess jeans were seized a few years ago, but only because they were counterfeits using the real name. But you can still go down to the supermarket and buy any number of "clone" shampoos or whatnot, with bottles, colors and labels that look like the high-priced nationally advertised product. Indeed, the labels often carry phrases to the effect of, "If you like [National Brand], you'll love ours." Wonder if anyone at Lever Brothers has ever tried a look and feel lawsuit? Nutek ought to slap such a label on its board, if it ever finalizes a working design. "If you love Apple Macs, try our chips." >>>> Ron Legro / Milwaukee via WHAP! "Wherever you go, there you are!"
