This week marked the 20th anniversary of the first iMac release. [View all]

Hard to believe its been that long. I was so blown away by the thing that I just had to get one. Took me a few months to save up the cash, so by the time I got one it was already on the second or third revision and came in fruit colors. I chose blueberry. Had that stupid round puck for a mouse. Only 32MB of RAM and a 6GB HD. Both had to be upgraded later. Oh, and you could get things like Epson printers to match the color of your iMac. Fun times, and we had a 'Real' President back then, Bill Clinton.
