he ostensibly saved the company with such gimmicky computers as the iMac & Cube (?) etc, but those products were YEARS in development, long before the (volatile) steve brought his (miserable failure) NeXT technology back to Apple.

I couldn't agree more . . . about the iMac, it's just that I CAN'T STAND THAT ARROGANT PISSANT! > :(

- Inexpensive price, powerful processor - but it had no PCI slots, so it didn't cannibalize G3 sales.- Joe Sixpack home users rarely use PCI slots - the iMac already had Ethernet onboard, USB took care of almost everything else.

- The colors got people to notice Macs. It was a huge refresh, these machines look different, they are different. Think Different and buy one.

A lot of the work on the iMac was already started with Steve Jobs came aboard, so it can not be entirely attributed to him.
