On today's Colbert Report, while talking about how the stock market is now back to 1997 levels, he starts to talk about thing popular in the 1997. He then takes out an old green iMac (someone in the audience corrects him saying it came out in '98 actually). He then pretends to use it to log into his AOL dialup connection so he can look at a stock graph. He is then disconnected when his mom tries to use the phone. :D

AOL dialup accounts. Ah yes, I remember those days....

Not pleasurably, but I remember them.

It's hilarious and takes you back to 1997 for real. Haha.

That was hilarious, but it was an iMac DV Lime from 1999. Apple's first consumer desktop that had Firewire. :D I had a "Blueberry" one.
