Yes…and I wonder if CBS could sue NBC and ABC over the 'look and feel' of their newscasts! I could see Apple getting upset over extremely close duplicates of their workbench (from the user's point of view)…but beyond that, it's a joke (to me, obviously not to Apple). Admittedly, the DRI's GEM workbench was very close the to Mac workbench, but the newer version is only slightly modified…and that's the result of the settlement between Apple and DRI so I suspect you won't see anything against the Amiga…since it's not even close to the Mac interface.
