1998 was a huge year for Apple because of iMac. What many people don't know is that the iMac was essentially already being sold in another case. Today, we are going to take a look at the UGLIEST Apple product ever made.

    Yep. Which is why the audio jack is pointless. I honestly think the aux jack should have been removed earlier on. But also, it will push audio companies to develop better lightning products now that they won't have access to aux any more. And all android companies are following apple and starting to remove headphone jacks too. I think tech just moves forwards, and this is a part of that. :)

    The lack of a thing that is universal and cheap is not moving forward. It's taking a step back. And I'd like to know why you thing that royalty fees for using lightning and more expensive products because a DAC now has to be in every pair of headphones. This does not push technology forward and it damages the entire industry. The only reason Apple removed the jack was because they knew that they could make a hell of a lot more money that way.

    From the perspective of a music producer, aux is incredibly awful. Lightning is a way we can finally have audio quality levels on par with XLR audio and optical audio. Plus, the fact the DAC is in the headphones means manufactures have more control over how the audio sounds. And companies like Sennheiser are extremely openly excited about having control over the DAC.

    The G3/4/5 Towers, the Mac Pro tower and even the Mac G4 Cube had fairly simple "Pull tab, remove motherboard" features. Hell, even the trashcan Mac Pro is wildly easy to open up. When intended to be worked on from the inside, Apple industrial design will do the cleverest things to help you inside there. When not, well, it's all glue and pentalobe bits.

    IIRC the IIv series and their Performa successors had some kind of a hinged duplex motherboard system. the outer case is pull tab removable, then 2/3rds of the insides could be lifted to open up the bottom layer for replacing parts. back in the days Macs were amazing machine. then they ignored the spiritual successor BeOS and went with OS8, the Mac equivalent to the heaping pile of crap that is Win 8.

    The G3 All-In-One had "personality" cards similar to it's bigger brother, the G3 MiniTower. Basically (as you mentioned) there was no audio input on the Mac. Therefore, these "personality" cards let you choose what type of personality your Mac would have. Video input capability, audio input, or even DVD playback, your choice. The cards had names, "Whisper" was the name of the audio-only card, "Wings" was the name of the A/V input/output card, and "Bordeaux" was the name of the video card which supported DVD-Video playback (it had an MPEG decoder chip inside). [The DVD playback card was only shipped with the G3 Desktop or Minitower] I actually like this All-In-One model. It's more expandable and on-par for processing speed iMac. (You say it's a 333MHz CPU, but only 233MHz or 266MHz speeds were available on the All-In-One, so maybe a typo, or somebody upgraded the CPU) It has the legacy I/O (including SCSI, which is interesting for a Mac with an internal IDE drive), and provides easy-access to the motherboard and easy expansion via PCI slots. It even had a monitor out jack, something that the iMac did not gain until the "Special Edition" slot-load DV models.

    Far from being one of the first Macs with ATA/IDE instead of SCSI for the hard drive. There were Quadras, Performas, and PowerMacs use ATA/IDE more than 3 years before the G3 AIO and the Macintosh TV had an IDE drive back in 93. The 8600 and 9600s also had translucent green plastics (albeit, not as much as the AIO) a good year before these too.

    Actually, sorry to burst your bubble (AND I KNOW THE VIDEO IS FROM 2015 BUT.) The Power Macintosh G3 AIO was not the first and only Macintosh to support video capture by stock configuration, as the Power Macintosh 7500 had a built-in video capture solution on the board, and also recorded in real time. For the release dates sake, the 7500 released in 1995, and the G3 AIO released in 1998. Sure it didn't record in 480i like the G3, but it still can be classified as the first.

    I literally had a closet full of these things at one point. My dad would get old Macs from schools and colleges and he managed to get quite a few of these molars. I loved them. We used them for Starcraft lan parties. We would wipe them, install Starcraft and Brood War, leave a copy of the game in the CD drive, and keep the lot of them in a closet. When it was time for the lan party we would pull out a folding table, set up the Molars (which is so much easier using AIOs), plug them all into a small ethernet switch, and play Starcraft until the wee hours of the morn while my dad would make dozens of cheese quesadillas and gallons of Cool-Aid. When we were done they would all go back into the closet and wait for another day. :D And man were they heavy...

    Hey dude I watched your advanced mac tricks video and it was really cool. I love the caffeinate thing I tried it for a little bit and it worked wonders, but I have found an even easier way to prevent your mac from sleeping in the OS X operating system. It is called HOT CORNERS (not mad just trying to emphasize lol) 1) Go to system preferences 2) Click desktop & screen saver 3) click screen saver tab 4) click little button on bottom right that says hot corners 5) Pick any corner you like and hit the blue button and click "disable screen saver" 6) now whenever you put your pointer in the corner where you put "disable screen saver" it keeps the mac from sleeping until you pull the pointer out of that corner then it will go back to sleep based on your normal setting. I found this trick to be extremely handy and easier than opening terminal and typing all that. Plus you don't have to calculate how many seconds you want it to last. You can turn it off anytime you want by simply moving the pointer. P.S. I would also like to mention sticky which I used to use on my Windows computer all the time but it always turned off so quickly and wasn't worth it most times. But I got my new Mac and instantly fell in love with the Sticky keys because it makes all those command, option, control, keyboard shortcuts a lot easier because you don't have to hold down all the keys at the same time. Just some opinions I had that I thought you might be interested in. Thanks for your time hope you took the time to read all this.

    We called them Ferengi Macs. Weird, unique and damned useful. SCIS, IDE and floppy controller in 1 machine. Can upgrade to Zip 250 and DVDR Superdrive. Analog video I/O (not the first BTW, I'd owned a 7600 years prior). Upgradeable video card, separate from the AV board and 3 PCI slots. Upgradeable ZIF processor. RJ-45 Ethernet and RJ-11 modem. Can multiboot OS9, OSX, LInux, BeOS. So I can use one machine for reading and formatting legacy disks, patching between phone and ethernet, video capture and DVD authoring, and it sits quietly in the corner working as a file server. The hard part is taking the CRT out and replacing it with an LCD...

    This was an excellent computer. It was the logical replacement for the older 5400 and 5500 all-in-one apple computers with 15 inch CRT's that used the much slower 603e processors. However, with the exception of an internal zip drive most of the items you highlighted were also available on the 5400 model that, I owned along with the 5500 model. They both had an internal floppy drive, CD ROM drive, apple video card, apple TV/FM radio card, internet card, and Sony 15 inch CRT. What made this G3 all-in-one extra special was that it used a G3 processor and had three (3) open PCI expansion bays for a USB card, Fire-wire card, faster graphics card, etc. It had the same power as the tan G3 tower for professionals but in an all-in-one design.

    +CDubs HasIt There is a logical argument to beat all of this, but let me tell you about apple's marketing strategy. They sell to, no offense, idiots. And I don't mean total dumbasses, but I mean those who rather spend 100s extra on a product that is marginally easier to use, has all this flashy things that you say are good to have but you will never use, and is less powerful then EVERYTHING else the same cost, but is still good enough for what you want to do anyways. So let me go down the lines and debunk every argument you have stated. "we can now send and receive text messages right on our macs. We can also make phone calls utilizing a wifi connection that your iPhone is also utilizing." Skype could do that for YEARS before apple. And it's actually VERY cheap. "And if you crack open one of their desktops or laptops; check out the logic boards." Look how tiny they are. Ok not really anything to support apple, but the raspberry pi zero is the smallest PC you can probably find and the cheapest too. "You say 2 fans were on this model? They're now making FANLESS models." *COUGH* *COUGH* SURFACE PRO TABLETS AND EVERY ANDRIOD TABLET/PHONE EVER *COUGH* *COUGH* Funny thing those STILL have better performance to price then most macs. "Not to mention the seamless OSX and how integrated everything is" OH PLEASE. OSX is a dummy dum dum version of unix that caters to and only to those who are too lazy and too stupid to use anything else. I mean common it has BARELY any support for all the shit windows computers could do since the 1980s, and if an argument is to install windows on it, THEN BY A FUCKING PC. And intergration? COME ON. Intel and AMD CPUs have graphics onboard, not to mention EVERY ARM SoC. "Oh yeah they also now support air drop. BOOOOM goes the dynamite" wow they support a feature they invented and they say is good when in reality it's just bluetooth with a different colour of thong. I am done.

Furthermore: * E-Mate by apple is the 1st translucent plastic molding case on an Apple product (introduced March 7, 1997, thereby predating the 'AIO' G3). But hey, don't feel bad: I've been doing repairs on Mac Hardware since the mid-80's, & I've disassembled & reassembled most of Apples products since then, I doubt the majority of the current Apple user base would want to know everything about every configuration layout ever made by Apple. You make great videos, whereas I merely reminisce about my tech experiences.

I agree the drawer expansion was really cool, although in those days Apple was good about making easy-to-upgrade designs in their professional machines (see G3 Desktop, Power Mac X600 series, etc.) I don't remember the video capture card though, so maybe the Canadian model was a bit different? Anyway the machine served me well for several years until I finally replaced it with a Power Mac G4 Tower in anticipation of OS X's release (I got a copy of the Developer Preview 4).

I worked in a school that had one of these models, so I was aware of its pioneering translucency, and my own Power Macintosh 8500 was made in Ireland. Speaking of the 8500, it came with A/V input and output in its stock configuration, and I actually bought it for that reason, so no, the G3 AIO was not the first or only Mac with this.

    IDE hard disks came to the Mac with the Quadra 630 in 1994, quite a long time and many models before the molar Mac. The beige G3's also had IDE/ATA, as did most 603 powerd Macs. Heck, the molar Mac uses the same logic board as the beige G3 models, and many stock configurations of the beige G3s came with the personality card.

    Finally someone that's not afraid to tell people to dislike their videos if they don't find them good.

    My elementary school had a lab full of these things, I still remember blasting through our lessons so I could play Nanosaur for the rest of class. You played a raptor from the future with a fucking jet pack and laser strapped to one arm, thank you whoever included that in the default software.

    That tray holding the motherboard is actually exactly like mid 90's apple. Almost every macintosh of the 90's was INCREDIBLY easy to get into. Actually until the most recent redesign the PowerMac/Mac Pro lines were famous for how easy it was to get at the components. In the Jobs era though it was the consumer lines and laptops that were made difficult to get into.

    Great Video! I have a G3 AIO in my "collection" and you are right about the weight! VERY heavy! I do love it though! It is one of the biggest Macs I ever saw and when people see it, they just don't know what to make of it (probably because they are on the rare side)! I never thought of the top of it as a pair of knockers, just looked like the top of a tooth. I swear that was the look they were going for too!
