- cperciva 11y agoRight, I was taking the release of the iPod as the date that Apple 2.0 launched; we can certainly say that Apple 1.0 died five years earlier and it existed as a zombie company for five years.
- Philadelphia 11y agoThe iMac was the first big hit under Jobs 2.0. Then iTunes. Then the iPod.
- aaronbrethorst 11y agoAbsolutely correct. iMac proved to Apple employees, their investors, and their faithful, oft-curbstomped users that Apple could still make something really friggin' cool. iPod changed the course of Apple's destiny. There's a reason that the company was renamed from Apple Computer, Inc to Apple, Inc., and the first step towards that transition was the iPod, not the iMac.
