IMac G3The iMac G3, which was originally released as the iMac, is a series of Macintosh personal computers Apple Computer sold from 1998 to 2003. The first iMac was Apple's first major product release under its CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs, who returned to the financially troubled company in 1996 after eleven years away. Jobs reorganized the company and simplified the product line; the iMac was designed as Apple's new consumer desktop product, an inexpensive, consumer-oriented computer that would easily connect to the Internet.
