The og iMac most certainly helped turn Apple around, but I have mixed emotions using it to develop on ('cause I was an intern and that's what we had). Most of my bad memories come from that damn CRT screen. We are so much better off not using those anymore. Also, it was just not fast enough for real work, and that damn puck mouse. At home (erm, dorm room), I had the latest, greatest G4 tower! which cost far too much for any 18 year old to need to own, but that thing ripped compared to whatever dull Pentium 233 I had previously had. ...except Apple couldn't ship with the original clock speed because G4 Macs were their own g/d drama. That Macbook G3 - the black one with the removable bays you could put in a battery (or two!) and hot-swap a CD drive in? One of the first ones they touted as being really thin (and probably at least 2x as thick as the current rev?) chef's kiss. That was the first computer that I thought was damn sexy, followed by the Ti Powerbook G4 when that came out. I can't wait to get my hands on an M1 to feel 1/100th of the excitement I did 20 odd years ago, but it'll feel much more utilitarian, which I'm quite fine with. Better things I guess to do now than pine over laptops. The keyboard better be up to snuff. Even with my humongous hands, I can hum along on those 2015 Macbook chiclet keys.
