      32GB wasn’t even the max when you posted this. The iMac was already capable of expanding up to 64GB with the late-2015 27-inch model. And yes, the current Mac Pro goes up to 1.5TB of RAM and many of their computers expand up to 8TB SSDs.

      2. Removing the home button
      3. Introducing the notch and ultra thin bezels

      Zsolt Váradi you have to see the deeper meaning in this one. It wasn‘t just „Hello again“ as in Macintosh, it was a „Hello again“ from Steve himself. He had just returned to the company and this „Hello“ could be read twofold. Furthermore it was the expectations tied to Jobs‘ return, as of everything would be great again. And turns out, it was.

I installed LinuxPPC on it at one time and learned all sorts of things about Linux. The 3rd party market was huge with all sorts of crazy upgrades. It still worked up until a couple years ago when the hard drive finally gave up.

    Interesting.
    I worked in a computer shop for a year in 1997 here in Australia. At that time the standard monitor size was 15". You could pay extra for an upgrade to a 17" model (we typically sold the ADI brand). If you wanted a really high end display you purchased the "flat screen" but still cathode ray based Sony Trinitron or Mitsubishi's knock off Diamondtron.
    All these monitors natively ran at either 1024x768 or 1280x1024 resolutions. My uncle ran an electronics company and in 1996 he had an NEC Multisync 21" monitor for CAD work.
    I have trouble believing in the US the standard at the time was 13 or 14"!
    Some of Steve's presentations leave me believing this was the type of guy who could sell snow to the Eskimos.

      it has to do with bits, bytes and marketing. Many homes have 10mbps connections and therfore 100mb ethernet adapters. Though, to your point this was almost 20yrs ago and most don't have or need more than that outside of businesses.

      Back in 1998 most users used dial-up and close to nobody had broadband internet access. The Ethernet adaptor was not so much used for hooking up to the internet but instead used for private networks (in homes, schools, universities and so on). And there, even back in 1998 100 MBps were nothing out of the ordinary, contrary to what Steve Jobs tried to insinuate in his presentation.

It’s free publicity. And before you say “oh but it’s only bad publicity” no it is not. A professional news article will give detailed background information about the product that it’s made for (Pro XDR Display and MAC Pro), so it’s free advertisement
