Comments
Having learned from its past mistakes, Apple refused to rest on the initial success of the original iMac. Just three months after shipping the iMac, Apple released the iMac Rev. B, boasting a faster ATI Rage Pro Turbo graphics card. On January 5, 1999 at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco, Apple received critical acclaim for its introduction of the 266 MHz iMac Rev. C in five different colors: grape, lime, tangerine, strawberry, and blueberry. Before the grateful Mac community could take a breath, the speed of the iMac was bumped to 333 MHz in April, and in October, Apple released the 350 MHz iMac Rev. E and two 400 MHz models with DVD drives.
