Thomas Brand:
Production of the Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) was short lived, being replaced by the Power Macintosh G4 less than a year later. It would end up being one of the most stable and long lasting machines Apple ever built, running Mac OS 8.5.1 in 1999 all the way up to Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger in 2007. Its innovative El Capitan case would go on to inspire the look of future professional desktop Macs, and the technologies it brought with it like FireWire and the New World ROM would bring Apple into the next decade.
The Blue and White was the first “pro” machine I ever used. It was rock solid.
