"Today, I'm incredibly pleased to introduce iMac, our consumer product. And iMac comes from the marriage of the excitement of the internet, with the simplicity of the Macintosh." With these words, ten years ago today, Steve Jobs unveiled the product that would literally save Apple from certain doom. The all-in-one, translucent computer would become a revolutionary product.

I was about to buy another Mac when these came out. Here's what I thought about the iMac: "No floppy drive? No SCSI port? And what the hell is this USB stuff? Screw that, I'm getting one of their normal beige ones." I did get one of their normal beige ones, in fact it was the last beige Mac. Fastest obsolescence evar. I quickly regretted not getting an iMac.
But, years later, after I put a usb card in it, Linux on it and bought a 3 button mouse I was glad that I had a nice looking beige box instead of a machine that looked like a fruit.
