This is the best summary I could come up with:

While a lot of my time was spent fixing porn adware and virus-infested Windows machines, this student was using a bondi blue iMac she’d recently brought from home and was struggling to connect to the internet.

Most students in my dorm had either a clunky Dell laptop that sounded like it was launching into space when you loaded Microsoft Word, or they had an iMac.

When my dad eventually broke and bought us a blueberry iMac G3 in 1999, it came with a DVD copy of A Bug’s Life that my brother proceeded to play on repeat for days.

With the stereo speakers and big, beautiful 15-inch CRT display, iMacs felt like a glimpse of a future where TV and work were blended in perfect harmony.

That promise that has now made the iPhone the dominant phone brand on the market was present in every one of those candy-colored computers.

In 2000, Macworld called it “Apple’s most maligned product since the Newton,” and I cannot overstate how true that was on my own college campus two years later.

I’m a bot and I’m open source!
