Another wire connects the computer to a mouse. The bottom and clickable buttons are blue and the rest of the body is white. The computer is turned to our right.

iMac Computer With Keyboard And Mouse

This is a Computer with keyboard and mouse. It was designed by Jonathan Ive and Apple Industrial Design Team and manufactured by Apple Inc.. It is dated 1999 and we acquired it in 2001. Its medium is molded plastic, rubber, glass, metal, electronic components. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.

Besides the intuitive ease with which the iMac could be used, it is the range of candy-like case colors—blueberry, tangerine, strawberry, grape, or lime—that set it apart from its competitors. Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs, noted that, “For most consumers, color is more important than megahertz, gigabytes, and other gibberish associated with buying a typical PC.”

This object was donated by Apple Inc.. It is credited Gift of Apple Computer.
