It was five years ago today, on a Saturday, when Apple was reborn. Few of us realized what the iMac was going to do for Apple, to the industry, or the impact it would have on industrial design throughout the consumer products world, but it was five years ago today that Apple released the Bondi Blue iMac. It had a 233 MHz G3 processor, a built-in 15" CRT, 32 MB of RAM, a 4 GB hard drive, 24X CD-ROM drive, a 56k modem, and 10/100 Ethernet. More importantly, the original iMac's case was made of something really bizarre, colored plastic!
