Summer 2000 | Indigo
The 350MHz model was available only in the new Indigo color and like its similarly clocked iMac 350MHz PowerPC G3 Blueberry counterpart of the previous year, was the low end of its series.
It lacked the VGA output port, DVD-ROM drive, FireWire support and was not Airport ready like its siblings.
However, it did include the new Apple Pro Keyboard, Apple Pro Mouse and ATI Rage Pro 128 graphics, as did all the Summer 2000 series.
With the exception of the original Bondi Blue iMac and the first special edition Graphite iMac of the previous year, the Summer 2000 series introduced non-fruit colors for the first time.
Other iMacs in this series included 400MHz DV models in Indigo and Ruby, 450MHz DV+ models in Indigo, Ruby and Sage, along with a Special Edition available in Graphite and Snow.
