Dang! I've never seen that commercial but talk about a good one!
I disagree. I think they were a bit exaggerated in their times to set up and the difficulty. HPs were color coded. It also took the adult twice as long to unbox the first part...really? The iMac was easier, but not THAT much easier as made to appear in the video.
Yeah, good luck finding software that worked with it also...

IE:Mac was a different codebase from windows. At the time it was faster and rendered better than Netscape and Opera. Having used it on a bondi iMac, I can vouch for it.

Yes, it was bundled on them, along with Outlook Express.

It was part of the Apple/MS settlement/bribe or whatever you want to call it.

I bought a Bondi rev.A new when they first came out. I can still remember the excitement when that FedEx truck pulled into the driveway...
