Re-read the whole thread. That *is* an iMac, and Samsung has been sued 
for elements of his tablets that are "are recalling Apple brand/style".
Again, is not "just hardware", is a symbol of something completely 
against FOSS and what (at this point I must write "should be") our values.

Yes please do it or remove the page until is ready, I'm not a designer.
Is like me, as a developer, create a test version of LiBo that saves 
files only in M$format, and don't put in a test branch but in the main 
download page as the official version and ask "what do you think?". Then 
you, that value the mission of spread Oped Formats and know that is one 
of the main reason of LiBo existence, complain to me, but I reply you "I 
will not take down that version, the fastest way to solve is you to dig 
the code and solve the problem yourself".
And if you complain again I say "Most people just don't care what format 
is used. Doc/Xls formats are more and more common, so not everyone sees 
a M$/proprietary problems everywhere".

no, it's needed to remove them if no one is going to provide alternate 
images that are not so embarassing for FOSS and LiBo community and 
against FOSS.
Put the new page online only when is ready.

Do you say it to prove that creating a iMac clone image has been a 
deliberate action?
Just comparing an asus one, then the most "similar" asus all in one I've 
found with "our generic all in one" and with iMac:

It's my last post on this, all what should have being said by me has 
been said.
