Identification and Background

Originally known as "The New iMac" the iMac G4 was created to replace the iMac G3 as Apple's all-in-one desktop computer. Steve Jobs quoted it as being "a design that will last till the next decade." It's the first computer made by Apple that uses an LCD panel— an industry first at that time in 2002.

Background

The G4 is easily recognizable by its swiveling monitor mounted above the hemispherical computer.

The model number and EMC number can be found on the bottom of the computer:
