Identification and Background

The computer is commonly referred to as the Blue and White G3 because it was made available only in Blue and White coloring, and to distinguish it from its predecessor. It was the first of the Macintosh line to incorporate handles into the outer casing, as well as being the first to incorporate Firewire. The side panel is a fold-down door on which the main components are mounted, make the computer extremely easy to upgrade. It was discontinued in late 1999 in favor of the PowerMac G4.
