Stumbled across this on YouTube - Steve Jobs introducing the original iMac back in 1998. Enjoyable little trip down memory lane...

I remember the Calgary Mac Club getting a bit of a sneak peak. Knew right then that the dark ages were finally coming to an end.

It's Un-Canadian to oppose a warming trend.

What struck me is how much Steve Jobs has aged visually since then. He let himself go! I think the reality of it is back then he coloured his hair and shaved, so you didn't see the grey hair. Funny thing is he dressed a lot older back then than he does now.

Thanks for the blast to the past!

eMachines made a PC clone of the iMac that was met with warm reception when I worked at Office Depot back then.

...this was before I appreciated "style" in computing, and expected a BUB (big, ugly box.)

I do believe the iMac saved Apple from oblivion, then came the "clamshell". Great design is sometime worth a lot. Aye! I'd rather drive a Ferrari than a Caravan and an Apple computer is like a Ferrari with the reliability of the old Volvos.
