I remember seeing an iMac in a Cher video around '98 or '99. There weren't that many computers on TV in those days and this was the first time I'd see one in a music video.
I thought it looked like a bubblegum toy computer for kids so I didn't want one. I was a kid myself, but hey, all the computers I was familiar with were serious beige boxes and this didn't seem "professional" enough. But I was intrigued.
I'm also intrigued about the "Princess Bride" analogy in the article, I'm still processing that. Is SJ being compared to Cary Elwes or am I missing the joke?

Apple didn’t have a wheelbarrow or a holocaust cloak, but it did have a young industrial designer who had been experimenting with colors and translucent plastic There's a scene where the Man in Black is barely alive / awake after taking The Miracle Pill, while Fezzik and Inigo are telling him he has to help them stop the wedding and rescue the princess. He says "and our assets?" As little as they have, it just happens to be exactly what they need to give them an advantage. I suppose if Steve Jobs came in and asked someone at Apple to list their assets, then yes, he's being compared to the Man in Black, as he's asked to save the day! > With Jobs’ brains, Jony Ive’s designs, and the new PowerPC G3 chip supplied by Motorola, the company began to form a plan.
