imac G3


Announced in 1998 the imac was apple's computer for the new millennium. Aimed at the low-end consumer market and designed with the internet in mind, the imac was positioned by apple as the most original new computer since the original mac in 1984, and came in a stylish new case design, with translucent „bondi blue" plastics. 


In 1999 the imac came in 5 dazzling new colors: blueberry, strawberry, lime, tangerine and grape. Essentially a speed-bump of the original imac, the DV also included a cd-slot loading dvd-drive, 2 firewire ports, and a vga out. The imac DV was convection cooled, and as a result needed no internal fan, making it the quietest mac since the 512K.
