"They were actually very niche"

They were nice consumer devices for the era, or for desks where showing off was more important than using a computer. One was brought in in our office - but in those years we were moving from 15" monitors to 17" ones, and 19"-20" for some few lucky ones - so, really, an all-in-one with a 15" monitor looked old despite its design. Plus the mouse was horrible. It was used only to test our early web sites worked on Apple too. Soon the first gigabit switches made it even older without being able to update the NIC.
