[CUBE] Cube upgrades vs. new Powermac

[Michael Blossom]

Hi Mike,

Not to rain on your parade, but in such a situation you should probably 
also take into account the cost of the Cube itself.

In other words, if you bought an eMac, you could sell your Cube for say 
$500, which brings the relative cost of the eMac way down.
