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.
