@RonsCompVids I was always a huge fan of the “Snow White” design language, with the Apple IIgs and Apple IIc being the most beautiful of them all. I gave most of those products with that design a “least ugly” rating. Also the original iMac I always thought was quite beautiful.
Apple changed it up a little with their mid-90s design language just prior to the return of Steve Jobs, with what I would deem “mixed results.” The later Quadra 600 series, and the Performa 6000 series, and the Color Classic, were sort-of “Snow White” except more minimalist in the design, which I liked a lot but weren’t as nice without the airflow lines of something like the Macintosh IIsi or SE/30.
The Molar Mac and Twentieth Anniversary Mac were the ugliest. (Also the JLPGA Macs.)
Also, just want to remind everyone that @NanoRaptor frequently does parodies of Apple design, check out this article about some of her creations.

This week on Cybercultural, I look back on Steve Jobs' January 2001 keynote at Macworld SF, when he announced iTunes and Apple's new "digital hub" concept. This was pre-iPod and of course pre-iPhone. The new strategy set the company up for a renaissance in the 21st century, when *everything* became digital. https://cybercultural.com/p/itunes-launch-2001/ #InternetHistory #ClassicApple

The iMac G3, released in 1998, was a revolutionary all-in-one computer that changed the face of personal computing. Known for its vibrant, translucent colors, the G3 featured a CRT display, built-in handle, and innovative design that made technology more accessible and stylish. It helped Apple regain its footing in the industry, setting the stage for future successes.
