that Imac thing from 1998 was a dog. I owned one out of curiosity mainly because it was free. I couldn’t believe how dumbed down it was from a current era Windows PC. Appel was grasping at straws and still is.

I don't believe you ever owned an iMac from that time period. I have a couple (I collect computers), and it's quite robust. As a matter of fact, they still connect to the Internet and can access content. Mine are set up with dual booting, to boot either OS9 or OSX. It is a dog running video graphics compared to modern desktops, but so is a Windows 95 machine from the era (or the later Windows 98 PCs).

Since 1998, Apple has had the most astonishing run in the history of the business world. It transformed itself from a company teetering on bankruptcy to the most valuable company on earth in terms of revenue and profit.

I would love to grasp at some of those straws!
