      Apple didn't go away, just the shape. And, if you're tied to a curvy all-in-one system with a CRT, you can still go with the iMac's big brother [apple.com].

      On a more serious note, Apple got lots of praise and lots of flak for producing a translucent computer. They knew it was "trendy" and they knew when to move on. Now everyone making a translucent device that wasn't designed to be translucent should move on, too.

      There are all the usual jokes about the vacuum cleaners and the iLamp, but have you heard anyone say, "While the user interface is straightforward and the availability of the BSD architecture is a great plus, I'd never buy one because I think it looks like a lamp." - No. They don't know anything about them, but their friends said Macs suck 15 years ago, so they fall back on the only insults they know.

      Sorry for the rant.

      As others have pointed out, Apple didn't sell the same machine for 5 years. Here's a useful chart [lowendmac.com] showing the different versions of the G3/CRT iMac. (I think there may have been some slight variations for the educational market, in terms of memory and drives)

      Things which remained the same across revisions:

      • Shape and size (height and weight changed slightly, I think this was due to CRT changes)
      • 15" CRT (actually, I think different CRTs were used, but all were 15")
      • USB
      • CPU type (various revisions of the G3 processor family)
      • Lack of floppy drive
      • 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
      • 56 kbps modem
      Things which changed between releases:
      • Price (no, it didn't start out as a sub-$1000 machine!)
      • color (Bondi blue, fruit flavors [strawberry, orange, lime, blueberry, grape], indigo, ruby, graphite, blue dalmation, flower power, snow)
      • speed (started at 233Mhz, finished at 700Mhz)
      • memory (32MB ... 256MB)
      • hard disk (4GB ... 60GB)
      • mouse (they eventually dropped that evil hockey puck but it took them too long to do that...)
      • keyboard (changed when the mouse changed, I think)
      • video card (Various flavors of ATI Rage cards, from Rage IIc to RAGE Ultra 128)
      • IR port .. quietly dropped in Revision C (when the fruit flavors were added)
      • internal expansion .. the never-supported "Mezannine" slot was dropped in Revision c)
      • Firewire .. introduced to some machines in 1999, but wasn't included with all machines until 2001
      • Airport (802.11b) .. slowly added to product line, same as Firewire
      • Fan .. Rev. A and Rev. B had fans, the fanless iMac began with Rev. C
      • optical drive .. CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD-RW of varoius speeds (I don't think the Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) or SuperDrive (DVD-RW/CD-RW) were ever available)
      A number of very different machines, but all basically looked the same (ignoring color) and were sold under the same name.

      You could look on eBay, but you'll notice that the price of a second hand Mac really isn't that much lower than a new Mac and people still actually buy them at this price. Something to note when considering switching, they seem to devalue much less than PCs. I've still not entirely figured out why...

Their best price right now appears to be $599 so I don't know if I would consider this a particularly good deal but then I think you can find one on ebay fairly easy. Original iMacs (slower obviously) can be had for much less than that and are fairly plentiful.

    I don't think it's too much hyperbole to claim that the iMac was one of the most revolutionary computers -- ever. The all-in-one factor was important, certainly, though not unique by itself. Neither was USB, the lack of a floppy drive, or a round and colored case. But the combination of these (and others) in one radically different computer probably changed the history of personal computers. When was the last time you saw a large manufacturer sell a beige case? When was the last time you saw a computer that didn't come with USB? Even now, manufacturers are still slowly phasing out the floppy drive, something that Apple basically did with that one bombshell back in 1998. Love it or hate it, the iMac changed the face of computing forever, and will be remembered as such a pioneer in the annals of the history of personal computing.

      I'm working at CompUSSR as a technician. It's a slow day, and I happen to be up at the front counter of the tech department, filling out some paperwork or something. A lady walks in the front door carting an iMac in hand, and from 10 feet away I can see the anger in her eyes. She steps up to the counter, and with one emphatic push, heaves the iMac up onto the counter, where it lands with a deafening *THUD*, loud enough the whole store takes notice. She takes a few moments to catch her breath from the effort, then looks me straight in the eye, and says...

      I'm gonna nit-pick now. I know that's out of character for me, but y'all just bear with me.

      I don't think "revolutionary" is really the right word to use here. I think a better word would be "influential."

      The Apple II was revolutionary; it created the personal computer market from scratch. The Macintosh was revolutionary; it changed the way people interact with computers. The iMac was more evolutionary than revolutionary, but the combination of its design (rounded, transluscent, tinted, happy-looking) and its design philosophy (easy and fun to use) touch everything.

      So I think I would say that the iMac was the second-most influential computer ever. The most influential? The IBM PC, of course.

    It was the thing that brought Apple back to the masses. However, now they have OS X to bring Apples to the geeks like me.

    Being a PC tech, I never really get to play with macs too much. I have had 3 with shot monitors come across my desk though.

    My buddy bought some Imac with firewire for $150 bucks. AV version I think it was called. Anyways he brought it over, I patched his OS9 to its latest patches. He had it for about 2 weeks until the monitor gave out.

    So of course, he brings it back to me. Having never ripped one of these things open I was excited at the prospect of tinkering around with some new hardware. Before I grabbed a screwdriver I called apple.

    tech: No matter what the problem is, hold the special programmers button on the side, it erases the nvram which will make your monitor work because it has a bad analog board.

    After several attempts at this and failing he gave me something else to try.

    tech: press the apple key + q r a t during bootup, again this will fix your problem.

    Well, again that lead nowhere.

    So with the help of my fine freind google, I found a PDF service manual and some more docs. I converted the imac into a pile of electronic parts, pressed some magic button inside and still, black screen :(

    Eventually I read that the analog boards on these things go out quite frequently, the replacement cost of the board went way above the $150 my friend had originally paid for it. I talked him into getting an external monitor (works now) and things were happy again.

    I had one of the original Bondi Blue iMacs. While other people were praising its beauty, I thought it was kinda ugly. As a fashion statement, the blue translucent plastic seemed somehow akin to bell-bottom trousers and leisure suits. The periodic release of new machines with different color schemes seemed to support that view.

    But it was a fine computer. The original iMac was a brave departure from the beige boxes we'd all become so accustomed to. The compact all-in-one design simplified things for people who don't want to invest a lot of time in figuring out how everything goes together. (You or I may feel unfulfilled with any computer we haven't built with our bare hands from raw sand, but there are plenty of folks who just want to use the thing.)

    The iMac moved things forward in part by turning its back on a lot of legacy stuff. The iMac upset a lot of long-time Mac fanatics who were upset that they couldn't plug their old ADB and serial peripherals into the USB ports. Some people were aghast at the absence of the floppy drive. Now that Dell has embraced the idea of computers without floppy drives, I guess the iMac's work here is done.

    Having read this I thought "right, go to ebay and buy one to run 'nix on). But they are still 75% more than an "equivalent" PC :-

    Still have two of the originals (almost), and the only time they gave me trouble was after a lightning hit to my home. Every ethernet device in the house went out, including two iMac motherboards. Insurance paid, but a year later I discovered after a lot of pain that the processor card had been partly fried but only showed symptoms when upgrading from 32 to 256MB RAM for OS X. Got a new processor card on eBay for $50, and it lives on and on, serving my daughters for all their school, chat, and music download needs... I expect they will drag the iMacs off to college in the next year or two. Better than worrying about an iBook being stolen!

    Jobs' Mac gave us windows, icons, mice, and pointers. His NeXT computer gave us the WWW, his iMac gave us a network appliance, and his OS X gave us Unix for teenagers. Quite a set of lifetime achievements...

    Ford no longer sells the 1998 model Taurus and has instead replaced it with the model year 2003 line. Anaylists were left baffled at this move. One remarked, "Who thougth Ford would make such a drastic move as this? Updating their models and not selling the older ones...I'm baffeled!" Similar trends have been noticed in just about every other freakin company on earth! So why is this front page /. news?
