"Today, I'm incredibly pleased to introduce iMac, our consumer product," Jobs said on stage that day. "iMac comes from the marriage of the excitement of the Internet with the simplicity of Macintosh. Even though this is a full-blooded Macintosh, we are targeting this for the #1 use consumers tell us they want a computer for, which is to get on the Internet, simply and fast." Jobs went on to tout the product, which was released right before the start of the following school year, to the education market.
