iMac Was Born 10 Years Ago

Exactly 10 years ago, on August 15, 1998 Apple released their first iMac. A beautiful all-in-one green Mac. It didn’t have a floppy drive, which was shocking at that time and it had 2 USB ports. Many people knew that this was a big step forward and that Apple was moving in the right direction with Steve Jobs on board. How many of us thought about buying Apple stocks then?

Watch a video of this defining moment in tech history when Steve showed an iMac to the world - the most important Apple presentation since releasing the first Mac in 1984.

There is also an amazing iMac advert called “3 steps” and a photo gallery prepared by Wired called ‘10 Years of Cuddly, Friendly iMacs‘.

BTW which iMac is your favourite? Let me know in comments below.
