The AIO G3 "Power Macintosh" was listed after the iMac. I did a double-take on that, then checked Apple-history.com. The Power Mac (edu model) came out before the iMac, and was retired when the iMac launched.

I never knew there was an AIO G3 before the iMac (besides the 20th Anniversary)

I bet if Jobs didn't come back, that would've been the consumer AIO instead of the seminal iMac...
 
Clear puffy plastic is so yesterday. The new sleek, metallic look is in. Expect the PowerBooks to get tighter curves.
 
I was at the Smithsonian Museum in DC last year and saw the first Mac there. I was really intrigued how someone could come up with this "machine" in their garage and sell it before the actual concept of the home computer was around. You really have to hand it to Jobs for being so innovative at the time.

Of course, the great imitator and idea stealer Bill Gates is the one rolling in the dough...go figure. I guess the big lesson is that you can have a great idea, but the one who markets it the best will come out the winner. But, in Gate's case, I mean the weiner... :D

I think Jobs is on the come back trail....Oh yes! :D

Are you talking about the 128, or the Apple I? The Apple I isn't technically a Mac (it doesn't run Mac OS).

I was talking about the Apple I. No, is doesn't run Mac OS, but it was the start of the whole thing. The innovation was what I was really referring to.
