Steve Jobs Introduces The First iMac In 1998

“We think the iMac is going to be a big deal”

Check out the above video of Steve Jobs introducing the iMac for the very first time in 1998. A jacket wearing, turtle neckless Jobs owns the stage and lambasts the existing PCs on the market as being “uuuugggly” and instead introduces a personal computer that would go on to make desktop machines things of beauty.

The translucent iMac rocked out with a 233Mhz Processor, 32MB RAM, and 4GB storage and cost $1,299.

As exciting and hot as things get on stage, Jobs never unbuttons that top button. What a pro.

Based in Cork, Ireland, his first foray into the Apple world was way back in 2006 when he purchased an iMac followed by a Macbook around 4 weeks later. He currently owns a Macbook Pro, iMac, Mac Mini, iPhone 4, iPod Touch, and Apple TV. But he prefers to buy watches. Go figure!
