The Power Mac G3 was a thing of beauty. It was a fashionable and ground breaking design while being unapologetically a computer. It went so far beyond the aesthetics of PC cases of the time to address the functional requirement to be able to open it up and add things to it. This aspect was shared with earlier Power Mac towers but never so beautifully realized as in the Power Mac G3. A truly innovative design and product and a self assured early first step on Apple’s decades long run.

@GteI I loved and admired the progression of form and materials from iBook G3 to iMac G3 and Power Mac G3 — and the bold way the all-black PowerBook G3 cut through the colorful and happy lineup like an untamed predator, while honoring the curvy, organic visual style of the entire range. What a show of absolute design mastery. What a tsunami in the world of boxy beige anonymous machines.

@Kitone this really makes me want to go down to the cellar and caress my Pismo.
