Compared to what existed before, LOL. Go look at how things were when NextStep became the basis of MacOS X
But OS X didn't come out until 2001.
Everyone laughs at this but a user here explained why quite clearly. Apple wants you to use it wireless and if you could charge and use wirelessly many would be confused. This explicitly removes that possibility. Once I read that explanation it suddenly made sense.
You're right they were still using MacOS 8 (1997 to 1999). MacOS 9 in 1999. MacOS X beta 2001. Still the OS's back then were not that great. The video was meant to show how far we come and yet we still think the recent OS's are crap. I guess it is what it is.
I see it the exact opposite. Apple has nicely rejuvenated a product they have ignored for too long.
Yeah, they shrunk it and repainted it. Rejuvenated that price tag for it, too. Hard pass for now.
Yep.

😆 Indeed.
Yeah, it was an optical drive firmware update. I never noticed any performance degradation.

Not out of the box but there was...
Not ignoring it, just don't want to get our hopes up too much without first seeing if Apple updates the existing 24" iMac models soon to more configurations and as you want sizes.
Actually no that doesn't make sense, at worst, it says that Apple thinks its customers are idiots who are easily confused. Most people are in agreement that the mouse is a horrible design
Yes its was, it's a shame that some think that it can be some easily replicated with the right person running a company, far from it, the marketplace is vasty more competitive now that many well know examples have matured a lot.
It was like a hockey puck on ice. I swear that mouse would find the only slick spot on the desk and launch itself off the desk whenever time was critical. I was forever doing technical support for my dad's iMac.
Later if they do away with an accessible beta of that. I just use latest LogiTech G Hub software with any wired or wireless version of G502 series with a iMac. Even though it's a gaming mouse it's way more ergonomic than Apple's Magic Mouse offerings and allows more customization. Around the holidays the prices nosedive on this line of mice as well as many other brands.
Same as every Apple device I believe. 7 years after it stops being sold. So the last iMac put on the Obsolete list was 2015.
Depends on what you mean by substantial. The 70’s gave rise to Altair,Apple][, and others and took computers from the mainframe to the desktop; and programs like Visicalc made them useful machines ushering in the whole personal computer revolution.
When I first went to college in '04 there still were iMac G3s with the hockey puck mouse in some of the computer labs across campus. It was the first time I used that mouse and DAMN, what an awful mouse it was! Too small, too short, uncomfortable, awkward to use, wrong shape.
