The G4 Cube
Stitch, did you see the retrospective on the venerable G4 Cube?
G4 Cube
It's amazing that 10 years have passed since it was introduced, and 9 years since it was discontinued. I would have to agree that it just wasn't priced for the intended market. Sure, they sold a few, but those were the folks who loved cutting edge technology and are willing to spend bucks to get their hands on it first.
I still love the look of the Cube. I loved the entire concept. And those who own Cubes say it was a robustly operating computer. I love the engineering so that it was fanless. But if you notice, I'm not writing this email on a Cube!! Too expensive for me! And I think that's the point.
As an aside, the Cube was released when there weren't any Apple Stores, and you could still boot into OS9!! Ah, nostalgia...
