This month, in my Apple History column at iMore:
When I was in high school, I worked at the student newspaper, laying out pages on a 1998 Power Macintosh G3 All-in-One.
I’m of the mindset that this machine—dubbed the “Molar Mac” for its tooth-like appearance—is historically important, as it helped reintroduce the Mac community to AIOs that mattered. It’s also the closest in design to Apple’s perhaps most significant AIO of the 1990s: The original iMac, with its translucent plastic and swooping curves. The Molar Mac has largely been forgotten, set out to pasture with a bunch of other old Macs that no one really remembers. But it paved the way for something great.
