And Aluminum cases have been on the market for years, apple didn't invent (or even popularize) silver/titanium/chrome colored pcs. how about stealthed drives? apple didn't invent those either... and I haven't seen any pc cases with a similar design to the g4/g5 cases.

I'm just saying PC's
usually follow what Mac does. You didn't see Silver/titanium cases until the G4 towers came out. Once G4 come out around 6 months to a year later that is all you see. Not aluminum. Mac's usually used the clear/frosted plastic cases. But the color and the use of clear plastic panels the Macintosh started.
Most people using macs were using iomega zip drives. Back then CD-RW drives were too expensive. But zip wasn't . So they just use zip disks. Now CD-rw drives, DVD-RW drives are cheaper, the zip drive is pretty much gone. DVD-RW drives again apple was the first to offer it on a computer. HP was only three months behind.
