I was in college at the time working at the university student computing labs. It was the iBook in 1999 and the few years thereafter. Up until then average students kept their computers in their dorm or just used the campus labs. All of the sudden laptops were seen as something other than 90s briefcases. The computer labs started to empty and all of the sudden profs were mentioning laptop policies in syllabi.
