Wayback machine: iBook

The website www.archive.org stores recurring snapshots of websites. Even the launch of the original iBook 1999 on apple.com, and is the presentation of the Second Edition models in autumn 2000. You can follow the links to explore the features of these models, but sometimes you will see missing images. Be warned that the archived pages are loading very, very slow - remember the good old times surfing the web with a 56k modem ?

All in all, the keynote audience was very pleased with the iBook except for two points: pricing and availability. At $1599, $400 more than the iMac, I think the iBook is reasonably priced for a consumer portable, but more than people had hoped for. TFT displays and six-hour batteries don’t come cheap, after all. I’m sure Apple is just as disappointed as we are that the iBook won’t be available to start the school year, but if they coulda done it, they woulda.
