Comment Re:Cube? (Score 1) 993
I had a Cube on my desk at work for several years -- perks of middle management -- and I have to say even running OS9 it was remarkably stable considering all the crap I ran on it. Typical load of running apps: Lotus Notes (notoriously fickle), Explorer, Quark, PageSpinner, Word, NewsEdit (a newspaper text editor) and some shareware mock dock I forget the name of. Maybe crashed once every couple of weeks, usually just a single app.
As they unplugged my Cube, I thought to myself "Farewell Aquarius, and we thank you..."
When I upgraded to OSX on a G4 tower, I pitched a fit to keep the cool 17-inch studio CRT monitor, the one with the clear plastic case, that came with the Cube. It's still the first thing anyone comments on when the come into my office. Best CRT Apple every made, and apparently the last.
