A type of personal computer owned and manufactured by Apple Inc. Many people like it and many people do not like it. I think it is a nice machine but is overpriced. Thank you.

A personal computer first introduced in 1998 and then re-designed and re-introduced in 2002. First incarnation was a pc with a 15 inch display. The 2nd design featured a 15 or 17 inch flat panel lcd screen held up by a metal arm. On the 2002 model, the display angle and position can be adjusted due to the metal arm which holds it up.

A computer made by Apple
Pros:
- Looks nice
- Performs well
- Great for work related tasks
Cons:
- Less customizable than a PC
- Expensive to repair (ex. you can't just pop it open and toss a stock hard drive in there if it dies!)

The iMac, introduced on may 6 1998 by Apple in the same room where Apple introduced the Macintosh in 1984. It was designed by Jonathan Ive, it's colour is blondi blue, named after the famous beach in sydney.
Introduced at the right moment, at the right place, with the right style and the right idea of an all-in-one design.
-Fastest selling computer ever, at a certain point they sold one imac every 15 seconds.
- First computer with a real 'colour'.
- Computer with a handle, so you can lift it up.
- No floppydrive, which was a great move forward.
- Had a round mouse, the original idea included a little light in it.
- Very cheap, compared to other macs and pc's.
In meanwhile, they made new generations of iMac's.
upgrades, new colours, new design, new style.
And in 2002, the all new imac was introduced.
It became THE must-have computer, with a floating display and a very compact system.
The iMac is now a icon of the 21century, which you probably know. Suddenly there appeared imac colour clothes, watches, diskmans.
Even the Xbox of Microsoft had their own imac colours.

An "all-in-one" computer, designed for the low-end users.
Their simplicity made them popular among schools, colleges, females, new computer users, and other people who did not realize the benefits of buying a different computer that can be easily upgraded.
-No floppy drive. Intended as "moving forward" but the first models didnt even have a CD-RW drive, making the simple task of transporting(not transfering) data very inconvenient.
-One button mouse, again, good for 8th-grade students and for old people who may have trouble understanding two-button mice.
- Considered to be very cheap, but you are still getting what you pay for(300Mhz, 64mb RAM, 6-gig HD, built-in 15-inch display(not flat) would be costing you $800+) Not a real bargain.
-A lot of schools have bought new G5 computers since their original iMacs are almost impossible to expand/upgrade, making them obsolete.
If your buying a computer, keep your future in mind; If it's an O.K. computer now, what will it be in three years? Will you be able to add to it and keep it up to date, saving you money in the long run?

Johnny bought an iMac, it was good for a year. He couldnt buy any cheap upgrades so if he wants anything faster, he will have to spend $800.00+ on a new computer.
