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.

@Gte @marioguzman Ahh, memories - this was “my” first Mac, in my job as IT and layout clerk for my community college newspaper. So many memories! It was fun dealing with multiple generations of Power Macs and Performas, while learning AppleTalk, transitioning from PageMaker to InDesign, and setting up a digital image pipeline (no more scissors, wax, and grease pencil for us!)
