That concept put the вЂњiвЂќ prefix in AppleвЂ™s product dictionary, where it remains to this day.ДЄppleвЂ™s bold choice to rip out all of the MacвЂ™s traditional ports-Mac serial, Apple Desktop Bus, and SCSI-and replace it with the USB standard that was just starting to emerge in the PC world, was also helpful.

That was the core idea of the Jeff Goldbum-narrated вЂњ ThereвЂ™s No Step ThreeвЂќ TV ad: Plug in the iMac, plug in a phone line, and thatвЂ™s it-youвЂ™re on the Internet. That computer at work was almost certainly a PC running DOS or Windows.Д«ut with the rise of the Internet, someone at Apple realized that there was suddenly a huge opportunity to sell people an appliance to let them get online. In the 80s and 90s a lot of home-computer sales were driven by the idea that you could use your PC to bring work home.

In the late 90s the perception was that the Mac was a weird, incompatible device, popular in corporate design departments and portions of education and pretty much nowhere else. We tore up our magazine issue in the matter of about a day in order to get first word about the iMac out to people in the days before instant Apple news was a thing. I have to give Andy credit-the moment he saw the iMac he knew it was going to be huge. Regardless, only the editor in chief of Macworld, Andy Gore, even bothered to go to the announcement at the Flint Center that day.ДЄs soon as the event ended, I got a phone call-I was working at home that day-and was told to immediately get in to the office, for an all-hands-on-deck meeting, because Apple had announced a new computer that was going to change everything. Though there were definitely signs that the company was turning it around, I also recall being summoned to Apple product events where nothing much at all was announced. ItвЂ™s hard to believe today that a Steve Jobs product presentation would be met with indifference, but there was a huge amount of skepticism about AppleвЂ™s product announcements back in early 1998. With the sweep of an arm, Jobs unveiled the iMac and Apple went from being a troubled maker of oddball products to a tech company on the rise, for 20 years and counting. There was a lot of talk about how the PowerPC processors in the Mac product line were way better than the competition, IntelвЂ™s Pentium II.Д«ut after all of that justification for AppleвЂ™s continued existence, Jobs pulled a sheet off of the product that would truly turn around AppleвЂ™s fortunes once and for all. There were the recently announced Power Mac G3 and PowerBook G3, models that had a little more flair than previous ones.

The original iMac: 20 years since Apple changed its fate
