It's more shocking see how Samsung was 7 years ago ( https://web.archive.org/web/20070222044411/http://www.samsun... ) and now ( http://www.samsung.com ). Evolving from refrigerators to smartphones!
Great web design basically doesn't need to change over time. Apple has kept the same ideas: big hero image, top nav bar, a few secondary things, and that's it for a decade.
It's kind of interesting how that G5 ad on the front page has a testimonial about freeing you from the chains of Intel and MS. Apple was was probably right in the middle of getting 10.4 ready to run on Intel at this point
I remember scratching my head at the numbers from Apple... The PowerPC chips were four times faster than Intel (or some such number). Then they released on Intel and it became twice as fast. (Of course, this might have been somewhat accurate if PowerPC did not gain performance at the same rate over the years. Still worth a chuckle, though.)

Blinking "Hot News Headlines" bar. You know, great web design.

Apple's recent departure from the educational market really changed how school districts (like the one where I'm currently employed) made their purchasing decisions.
They used to offer deep discounts for K-12 and higher ed, even featuring it on their main page. Now they don't offer anything of the sort.
