"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.

yep, only macs i had any contact with, until recent years when a friend of mine got a macbook pro, was a row of imac on display in a local electronics store.
i played around with them for a while (what did they run at first? os8 or os9?) then shrugged and moved on the the pc games section...

I got to be a part of this in '98, I did the rollout for the Kansas City Metro area ... and people were floored.
Words like "stunning" and "marvelous" were used to me when folks first unboxed them and immediately were able to get on the WWW.
All from a little company that was written off just months before as "finished".
Say what you will about Apple, but the world would be a duller place without them.
And yes, I have three of them 2nd, 3rd, and 4th original generation design on a round table in the office - still at work.
