Late
'90s, actually.
"Bondi Blue" iMac (middle pic) came out in 1998, fruit colors (top pic) were announced in early 1999 (more info
here). But that minor detail aside, I see your point!
(I avoided the whole iMac thing - my Macs at the time were plain ol'
beige giant behemoths that, with their extra cooling fans and extra hard drives, sounding like mini vacuum cleaners... I kept that last great old workhorse beige Mac
for many
many years (hey, it still worked, why get rid of it?) before finally switching over to Linux and then Windows. Never did buy an iMac, just didn't appeal to me, certainly not brightly colored ones. Wouldn't want bright-colored guitar pegheads either, makes the guitar look like a toy.)
