The iMac at 22: How the computer 'too odd to succeed' changed everything ... for Apple, at least

Re: Hype

The iMac was irrelevant to Computing.
your comment says much more about you than the industry. my recollection was that the iMac, among other things:

• killed the beige box as a design element

• normalized internet access for millions

• was ubiquitous in graphic design studios and internet cafes

• provided a platform and launchpad for OS X

• made apple relevant in the industry again, post-Steve Jobs' return.

your myopia perspective may vary.
