  • Apple released the iMac 27 years ago and it's better than ever

    I wouldn’t say the iMac is better than ever today though. It’s looks are the same as before but with a polarizing color scheme (bezels), and odd choice of port placement. It’s also a bit too small. 


    The more things change, the more they stay the same.  Nearly all of this could have been said (and was said, a LOT, about the first iMac.

    Many have no idea how close Apple was to going under when the iMac was released. There was virtually no chance it would survive in the face of the onslaught by industry-standard Windows, which had finally been able to copy the Mac’s ease of use after more than a decade of trying. Today, Apple is arguably the most powerful company to ever exist. Truly unbelievable, and all thanks to one man: Steve Jobs. 

    Lore is great, but no.  It's never one person. He'd be the first to tell you that.  In fact, he was:

    I grow little of the food I eat, and of the little I do grow I did not breed or perfect the seeds. I do not make any of my own clothing. I speak a language I did not invent or refine. I did not discover the mathematics I use. I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive of or legislate, and do not enforce or adjudicate. I am moved by music I did not create myself. When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself survive. I did not invent the transistor, the microprocessor, object oriented programming, or most of the technology I work with. I love and admire my species, living and dead, and am totally dependent on them for my life and well being.

    So every single PC or computer manufacturer can use modular RAM. Including servers, workstations, data centers, super computers. 

    But somehow the Apple chips cannot and are trying to convince us that it is not just plain & simple greed??
    Yes.

    So for only $3,499 you can buy a kitchen timer that will what, time your cooking? Our kitchen has the OXO Good Grips Digital Triple Kitchen Timer. It cost $19.99 at WalMart. We also have timers on our stove, our microwave, our air fryer and of course our Apple Watches. None of those cost extra. They came with the equipment.

    I'm sure there are must have apps coming. This isn't one of them.
    Because *that's* the entire point of this demo.

    I hope it's to the ultimate finish, with the victor charged appropriately under the law.  In a country with capital punishment.
