Remembering Apple's 20th Anniversary Mac

Yeah this mac was released a year after the 20th anniversary of apple. I don't think they would necessarely repeat such a delay but it also doesn't garantee they release something right on april 1st...

Why was it released in 1997, shouldn't it be the Twenty-first anniversary mac?

@ zenegra, hmm you got some interesting points.....

I actually loved this mac. I used it as my primary computer from 1998-2001 and it was great. the sound system by bose was especially awesome. everyone who saw it was amazed by its design, and it's really groundbreaking to this day. It's sitting in my garage in its box right now. I still use the leather CD case that it came with. I even still have the gold CD-ROMs that it came with.

What does "Anniversar" mean?

I remember that Jerry Seinfeld's apartment on "Seinfeld" had one of these. Then I licked the screen so much that they look the TV away from me. Does he still have it? Is that show still on the air?

Yup, what Jordan said. I should have added that. Mac Tracker has every startup chime. The 20th anniversary chime is keyed higher and delicate. Its not really a BONG, but a series of 3 smaller "pulses". Very neat sounding.
I do wish that Apple would update its startup chime. I was hopeing the intel macs would do that, but alas!

.nobody really wanted it.

Everybody wanted it, nobody could afford it and by the time that price drop came around, it was too underpowered to justify even that price compared to the G3s that had hit by then.

Ive all way had a dream of getting my hands on one, gutting it and putting the innards of an iBook in there. Thats the ultimate casemod in my eyes.

Damn, now one of you is going to beat me too it.

Yeah, and nobody really wanted it.
They weren't able to sell all of them so the price dropped down to less than 1500 $ - at least in Germany.
I know a guy who bought one just two weeks before the price dropped. He was furious, as you can imagine.
Nevertheless it was a pretty sleek machine. I installed it in the guy's house. ;)


om.

At min, there will be a new ipod.
