Dearest Mark, I could not agree with you more. This is a huge disappointment for me as well. I don't know what to say. I am dumbfounded. When we have spent as much money as we have to Apple, you would think that they could have a little empathy for those of us who love their most underrated and overpriced jewel. I figure there are at least 25,000 Cube owners who think like us. That translates into about $1,250,000 in $49 sales. Is that not real money? I am very angry and sad about this. I will be pleading in person to the iDVD team tomorrow at the show. I'll let the list know how it goes.
