Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh
TAM
All-in-Ones1997Very Rare
Only 12,000 were made, each personally delivered by a trained Macintosh specialist in a business suit, with a bottle of wine. At $7,499 — later reduced to $1,999 in a clearance sale — it was Apple's celebration of twenty years of the Mac and a vision of where personal computing was headed: vertical LCD, integrated Bose audio, television tuner, all in a single slim enclosure. One of the rarest and most desirable Macs ever built.
