January 5 1999 * At Macworld Expo, Steve Jobs announces the release of new iMac computers in five bright colors. Each includes 266 MHz PowerPC G3 processor, 32 MB RAM, 15-inch monitor, and 6 GB hard drive. Price is US$1199.

[alucard1931]

@dioxviad It's really funny how a 6 GB HDD was all the rage in 1999, and now we have 32 GB MicroSD cards the size of a fingernail that can survive being washed in the laundry.

[pianokid100]

it has come to pass just like it was foretold

[Jehzar]

Because he can travel to the future. You know... Lost, Alias, Fringe and Star Trek, He's The Doctor, srsly :D.

[gsmaciel]

Oh so that's when all the hype started...

[42underscore]

Ugh that haircut. No wonder the show got cancelled.

[RemusLupo]

@42underscore ...........

[gvi341984]

@42underscore

awesome

[jnorris441]

will she find a computer?? DRAMA

[EatCraps]

@jnorris441 Se calls up noel!

[teemuruskeepaa]

I always thought this show was too actual.

[diljo13]

was supposed to been intended as "thinkpad" and "ibook" which existed then... but was supposed to b a cute ditsy blond mixing up the names

[chkdg8]

I'm still trying to figure out how in the hell did J.J. Abrams go from this to Lost and Fringe.

[sph1984]

meaning what? i prefer THIS over his "sci fi" exloration. But all in all, all his shows seem to fumble midway. Felicity to me is his best and most touching

[mathmatucla]

@antiqueIens But PCs, iMacs, and ThinkBooks all existed, and they were mentioned. Furthermore, the iPod didn't even exist yet. What could they possibly have meant?

[moises0369]

@mathmatucla I think she meant ThinkPad

[jofrancis324]

That was definitely iPads.

[TheFlyingCookies]

LOL!

[emercait23]

lmao

[r0cketman22]

Ha!

[sunriseintrees92]

[XaulZen]

Those dykes should've just pooled their cash together and bought a sybian! Not a shitty pc or laptop that came out in the

90's!

[hdwblade]

Hahaha!! Owned.

[TryingOnSuits]

@antiqueIens pretty sure tht was a girl haha

[mathmatucla]

[Coldkilla9]

[GadgetShare]

[viendiesel13]

OF COURSE!!!

[PureRac3r]

weirddd

[Sherookie]

:O!! i feel betrayed!

[00calvera]

ThinkPads and iBooks

existed in 1999

the actress mixed up:

thinkbooks and ipads

[laepnud]

The actress didn't mix anything up. The script was written that way to avoid potential trademark issues.

[qjimmyp2000td]

lame

[BattalGazi]

yeah, so what?

[AngelsOnOurShoulders]

time travel is possible! lol

[Wakeuptired]

Wow.

That was some shitty acting.

[ObamaBobLaden]

just get a brain... s'gonna be far enough

[hardBoss]

I think she looks cute with short hair, but I never watched the show.

[Billabongs122988]

Is it true that the ratings dropped on this show because of her cutting her hair from a long & curly to a pixie?

[love2live10101]

yes

[rhigh100]

those two should have spent their money on boob jobs instead.

[TheFelineAIDS]

@rhigh100 hahahaha

[CallofDavey]

amy smart !

[rainbowrobby]

i remember watching this exact episode! who would have known!

[jaraha]

This is when Felicity broke the rules and cut her hair without informing the shows producers.

[00calvera]

ThinkPads and iBooks

BAD ACTRESS ... nothing more

[mic82ryan]

i watch the show back then lol

[MrBoomSonic]

now I know where the name iphone came from lol ipad

[shuboy05]

Hey, JJ Abrams could have made some money off Apple if he put a trademark on the name...

Though its likely Jobs would have simply changed the name if it was taken.

[Lospumasrugby]

cool!

[mestresuzuka]

LOST!

[juknobel]

@mestresuzuka HAHAHAHAHAHA

[speier]

[WiseWeeabo]

Well don't worry, there are a MILLION computer stores on Broadway.

[macnerd77]

The show may have been terrible. But atleast they have good forward thinking. :-)
