The Bring Back the Cube Online Petition
We, the undersigned, encourage Apple to reconsider it's decision to 'freeze' the Powermac Cube product line. The marriage of size, elegance, ease of use, and stunning attractiveness was before its time when it was first launched, but we believe that market conditions and advances in technology have come together to create the ideal time to re-launch and re-purpose a new Powermac Cube product for the teeming millions of loyal Apple users and customers. We believe the Powermac Cube is the 'missing link' product hinering Apple from achieving it's oft-stated goal to win over significant portions of the Windows-using community. A cheap, fast, and partially upgradable/expandable machine situated betwen the iMac and Powermac G5 by the best industrial design team on Earth is just what the doctor ordered.

whatever i signed anyway just to make you happy, do you really think Apple will listen to a petition, you know they do not except recomendations, product drawings or anything like that, it says in their privacy report.
Lemon Bon Bon
the odds of a petition succeeding? Probably unlikely. But what the hell, eh?
Jeez, you are all some sourpusses.
The Cube is a great unobtrusive 'puter. I'm still waiting for computers to shrink to the size of a gnat..or at least as close to it.
I mean eventually the laws of Diminishing Returns will negate the need to upgrade every component with a new purchase. For instance. I have a Powermac G6 in the future with an 8X DVD Burner. Why have a DVD Burner in every other computer in the house if I can utilize the one.
The Consumer Household is going to mirror the changes Business went through when Networking computers reduced the need load up every individual machine with components.
One Printer to Rule them all.
One Media Server to Rule them all.
Why not?
I think apple should give an imac to ALL inner city children for free.
I think apple should bring back the SE-30 with a G5 in it.
I think "pleather" should the the default skin of OSX.
See how silly things can get?
(PS. at least throw in some fancy numbers showing gross profits broken down by machine model. And expected sales for each model. If you are going to start a cube crusade and least make it look good! \
Petitions don't do anything but annoy Apple.

and waste bandwidth...
id start an online petition to end online petitions... but then the idea would never be implemented...
1 (maybe 2) HD, four banks of ram, 1 processor in a small case that REFLECTS THE SAVINGS OF NOT HAVING PCI CARD SLOTS and limited upgradeability. 1499-1999 depending on specs.
Dunno about you cats, but I'd buy one.
But this topic is beaten to death.

*sigh*
anyway, the business plan is to not let Steve price it at $1799. pretty much everything else was ok, imo.
A new, tiny, headless machine? Yes. A new cube with a buttload of tiny fans? No.
