[Cube] cubes in general

[Kim David McNeill Simmons]

Hello all,
	I have had my Cube since it first started shipping, a very  
delightful computer. All I have done is change out the hard drive and  
added memory. No other upgrade has been done, not because I did not  
want to , but because I have found over the years that in my personal  
opinion processor upgrades are just not worth the money. By the time  
you put in the money for a dual or single upgrade and upgrade the  
video card, you have just about bought and paid for a comparable  
tower, and now a mini maxed out would be bought and paid for. Do not  
get me wrong, I love my Cube but as a Stock computer I know she will  
continue to run for sometime.  Where as I had a perfectly good 733mhz  
computer I put an upgrade card into and although it runs much faster,  
she does not want to start up right away and some times it does take  
awhile, I can not close the side door at all or the computer will not  
run. I did have an authorized dealer put in the upgrade and he when  
thru the computer from one end to another and could not make it  
function correctly at all. This was a computer that had been rock  
solid prior to the processor upgrade. Prior to this I had spend a lot  
of money with Newer well before they went under trying to make my  
computers of that time work as promised.
	This is all just personal experience, not meant to cause issues,  
especially since so many on this list have had such good luck in  
upgrading. But I think i is a far better avenue to buy a new computer  
then to upgrade processors at this point. Now when Apple has decided  
to create a Mac that gives us that capability without issues, then I  
will jump onboard once again to the processor upgrade line, but not  
until then.
