The Cube seems to be the computer that every Apple fanatic loves to hate. I too had my doubts when I first checked out its specifications and read reviews.
Then I bought one.
The Cube is the perfect compromise computer for someone who wants more than an iMac (I hate the idea of being restricted to an all-in-one design) and doesn't have the space or need for a full blown minitower.
I live in quarters that are best described as "cramped." (I'm being polite here...hear that Uncle Sam? We want better living arrangements.) I share a room with another soldier and there simply isn't enough room to wedge a minitower in and still have a usable desk so the Cube is a perfect solution. I also bought a flat-panel display (not Apple brand, but I like their thinking) so now I have a full size computer and room left over.
Now that the Cube's gone I can't wait to see what Apple comes up with next. Maybe the Cube (or some of its design cues) will resurface as the iMac II. Wouldn't that be nifty? Either way I'm sure that Apple will come up with something to talk about.
