It’s been 20 years since Apple discontinued the iMac G4, a unique computer with a funky half-globe base and a flatscreen LCD on a fancy hinge and adjustable arm. It took about 30 minutes for me to open my eBay-acquired 17-inch 1.25GHz iMac G4, remove the motherboard, put in the DockLite, and close it back up, and suddenly, I could plug in whatever I wanted, from a MacBook Air to my Anbernic GBA SP knockoff. The price owes to the “time, effort, and money to get even a relatively simple product such as the DockLite out to market,” Juicy Crumb CEO and co-founder Timothy de Denaro told me in an email.
