It’s a sad day; Apple has recently declared the iMac G4 (iLamp) “Obsolete”. Tears of sadness fall down my face.
It’s debut in 2002 sent shock waves around the computing world. The “Luxo”-lamp was so special it was featured on the cover of Time Magazine.
I have a special place in my heart reserved for the iLamp. A 20″ G4 iMac lamp was the first personal Mac I ever owned. It was an absolute thing of beauty. Elegant and sexy!
I only recently departed with my beloved lamp. I almost kept it just for the sake of it’s beauty. I however couldn’t let it just sit there and not be utilized. I’m sure it’s eBay purchaser was completely satisfied.
Apple will no longer stock parts or provide repairs for the iMac Lamp systems. Luckily there are still plenty of parts floating around eBay and craigslist.
Lights out…
