Due to the competition between Mac and PC, inventions of computers has been more rapid than at any other period of time. Microsoft’s Windows has monopolized the entire personal computer industry with their operating system and that goes same for the Mac OS 8.5. Since Mac couldn’t attract customers to buy their computer systems through their optimum operating system they just put out another computer named iMac to help improve their sales performance in the computer industry.
“Let's state the obvious: the iMac looks incredibly cool, is mindlessly easy to set up, and at $1,299 doesn't cost an arm and leg. But what's not obvious about Apple's futuristic design is that it leaves the past behind,” said my friend Illysa.

And since there are no internal slots, you can forget about adding anything like a video capture card
or an internal ISDN modem. Apple isn't kidding when it pronounces its mantra (slogan), "Think different."
On the upside, the all-in-one iMac can design grab most of the customers attention, drawing curiosity seekers from all over world who wanted to see something--anything--different than a beige tower or desktop box. The smooth, triangular shape and translucent, aqua...
