[Cube] Confession...

[Peter Wigglesworth]

I am with you Stefan.

I started life with an Apple II, progressed to Lisa, LC475, Quadra then 
a string of Power Macs. However.... The Cube is the nicest all round for 
my purposes. I do dabble with PC from time to time, but always feel like 
I am wearing a favourite pair of gloves when using the Cube.

Having just updated the OS to 10.3.9 + Classic I think I have spent time 
and money wisely and have a delightfully functional computer that is a 
style icon to boot. I did consider the mini Mac when the Cube played up 
last year, but lots of research on this and other Mac sites solved my 
problems (they were caused by my own neglect of the obvious - getting 
all the OS up to date.)

Thank-you to all who have shared their solutions on this site.
