The iMac wasn’t even the first all in one Mac with multimedia capability. That would’ve been the Performa 5200CD, my first computer, which came out in 1995.
That, of course, is an evolution from the Mac Colour Classic which came out in early 1993 and had a built in mono speaker, but no CD-ROM drive. This being an evolution from the B&W compact Macs dating back to the original from 1984.

- uxp100 6y agoDid napster ever come out for Macs? I kinda remember going straight to LimeWire.
- dereg 6y agoYup. It came out as Macster and it lived a much shorter life than it did on Windows. I don’t remember what I did for a while after Napster shut down. I remember doing a ton of file sharing through Zip drives on school computers. It used to be so fun to exchange Zip disks containing our Napster collection and play them on school computers.
