The iMac G3 and the years Apple spent finishing Mac OS X

The iMac G3 sold well enough to buy Apple the time it needed to get Mac OS X working. That is the argument this short history makes, alongside an account of the operating system transition that ran beside it. It sells direct from the author rather than through a publisher, bundled with his Apple history calendar.
