You're right, the Cube is one of the coolest computers ever made. Personally, I think they could've had it survive at $1799 if it had specs like the iMac currently has. Of course at the time there was no G4 over 500MHz and no superdrives, but the specs that the Cube had weren't worth the money. That's what made it a flop.<hr></blockquote>
The Cube sales would have not only turned around, but would have become all they wanted it to be if, instead of "putting it on ice", they would have put some icing on it. A dual 7410 model @ 500Mhz each, upgraded by now to dual 800's would still be a best seller. I'm looking to upgrade mine to dual 500's, rather than buy a new iMac.

Now that's obscure.
