[CUBE] Just got back from the Computer Store

[Eugene Fields]

Hi
  Im in the same boat. I Ordered the 17 PowerBook But when the new 20" 
Display arrived I promptly cancelled the PB and Ordered the 1.42 Dualie 
'quieted' model,  with the 20 Inch Cinema Display.

With all the extras I needed to make the PB a System (airport Base 
station,  Case, memory, Applecare, etc) the price was the same :)

I was considering doing the upgrade on the Cube but after reading these 
comments from users decided to get a whole new machine, and retire the 
Cube to be my Server..

Why upgrade the Cube with all these new Technologies, I got the ATI 
9700 for the Tower, that sealed the Cubes fate with its paltry 16 0r 32 
ram card!  A user here is selling an ATI 9000 (or something) 32 meg ram 
card for 350.!!!

LOL  get the 9700 and kiss the Cube goodbye.  Its Over.  It Will never 
keep pace with the Future..I'll keep mine as I DO Love it but its a 
dead end as any Discontinued Hardware is.. cie la vie
