[CUBE] Cube upgrades vs. new Powermac

[Michael Swale]

Yes, but I already have a cube and like it. It would be nice to get another
2-3years out of it.

Has anyone really played with a eMac? They are garage IMHO. Try upgrading
that one in a few years.

Either way, I'll have a 1.4ghz G4 computer for under $1000 with everything I
need.
